Well, as far back as the 1940s both the Allied Forces and the Germans clearly understood that the answer to this question was the good old Jeep (or in Germany's case a copy of it). So you can't go far off if you latch onto a Jeep.

If you're going to be doing a lot of off-road and desert driving the you shouldn't be looking for something too luxurious and pricey if you're just going to thrash it anyway.

Cheers,

Thank you Tarazan for your offer, but I'm not looking for a new car. I'm looking for older car just for off-road as I mentioned above.

Cheers James for your advise, you are completely right, but the problem is that here in KSA there are few places for Jeep maintenance. It's not that popular in Saudi Arabia. I just bought 1999 Jeep Cherokee and I was afraid about its maintenance, so I just sold it two days ago. It was really good for off-road, but it'll be very expensive to maintain it as it's old.

Cheers

Thanks again Mohammed,

I would definitely vouch for the FJ cruiser (since I drive it). A 2007 model with approx 150,000 kms should be available at around SAR 50,000. Low maintenance, no fancy mechanism, great armor plating. Built to do the required job.
You can further check out adds at eharaj.com, dubizzle or expatriates OR best go to the area where they sell used vehicles.

Thanks Raunak for your suggestion. I can't find FJ 2007 for 50k, if you know one please let me know

Hi,

Did you go to the haraj area in your city? If not, do give it a shot. 

Else, if you are a Saudi or know a good Saudi friend try to drive one down from Dubai or Abu Dhabi under the name of your friend. Usually, you get the used vehicles cheaper and at good rate. Also, there are minimum or no import taxes for these vehicles from the UAE, if a Saudi would be driving it down.
