Planning an Eid road trip? Here’s how to drive from Qatar to Oman safely | Gulf Times
With Eid Al Adha holidays approaching, many residents in Qatar are looking for travel experiences that combine adventure, scenic landscapes, and the freedom of exploring at their own pace. For travel enthusiasts seeking a memorable Gulf road trip, driving from Qatar to Oman via the famous Rub al Khali route offers a truly unique experience. The 725-kilometre Empty Quarter Highway directly connects Saudi Arabia and Oman across the vast Rub al Khali desert, also known as “The Empty Quarter” — one of the world’s largest continuous sand deserts. The route officially opened in 2021 and significantly reduced travel distance between the two countries. I recently completed a seven-day road trip from Qatar to Oman, covering approximately 3,255 kilometres across deserts, highways, mountains, and coastal regions. The experience turned out to be an unforgettable adventure filled with breathtaking scenery, long desert drives, and remarkable travel moments. One of the major highlights was driving through the Rub al Khali highway, which provides a direct land connection between Saudi Arabia and Oman through some of the Gulf region’s most remote desert landscapes. However, travellers planning to take this route should prepare carefully before starting the journey. How to reach Rub al Khali road from Salwa Border After completing immigration procedures at the Abu Samra-Salwa border crossing between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, motorists should continue eastward along Highway 95 toward the Al Batha area en route to the UAE border.The distance from Salwa border to the Al Batha diversion toward the Shaybah road is approximately 85 kilometres. Before reaching the UAE border route, drivers must turn south onto the Saudi-Oman highway, which cuts directly through the Empty Quarter desert. The Saudi section of the highway stretches approximately 564 kilometres from the Al Batha junction to the Oman border crossing, while the Oman section extends around 161 kilometres toward Ibri in Al Dhahirah Governorate. Despite the long desert drives and challenging terrain,…
