Travel by Road to Doha, Qatar via Saudia - Border opened or not?

I go across the Bahrain causeway every week and have been seeing a lot of Qatari and Kuwaiti cars there so I assume the land borders are all opened.

General rule of thumb:

1) Your car should be in your name or you should have NOC from the owner
2) You will have to buy third party insurance at the land border
3) Exit Re-entry will apply and you need to check on Qatar visa on arrival
4) Check also on vaccination for both yourself and your mother in law.  As far as I know, to enter Saudi via land borders, you must be fully vaccinated with one of the approved vaccines in the Kingdom.  Otherwise you need to fly in and do institutional quarantine.   For visit visa holders, they need to register their vaccine on a portal.  Final point, people who have taken Sinopharm or Sinovac, need to have a booster dose from either Pfizer or Astra

My advice, the simplest route would be to have her fly in.

Thank you sir for your reply.

1) Your car should be in your name or you should have NOC from the owner
Yes, I will travel on my own vehicle.

2) You will have to buy third party insurance at the land border
Yes, I am aware, I travelled to Doha, 5 years back via Saudi border.

3) Exit Re-entry will apply and you need to check on Qatar visa on arrival
My plan is simply go to Qatar border at the immigration post, do not have any intention to take an entry, will that be a problem?  my brother-in-law will bring her mother to the same location.

4) Check also on vaccination for both yourself and your mother in law.
Yes, myself and my mother-in-law completed the two dozes of Pfizer vaccine.

She is old and feel anxiety to travel alone by air, this is why we are planning to travel by land.
Worst case scenario, we will have no choice but to arrange by Air with special request to the airline crew for special support & assistance.


Thanks once again for your reply.

Hello everyone,

Writing in capitals is the online equivalent of shouting.
