Saudi Arabia to UAE — Executive Car Transfer Service
Premium door-to-door taxi service to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Safe, comfortable, and efficient overland travel across the Al Batha border.
Saudi to UAE Land Transfers
Connecting two of the GCC's largest economies, our Saudi to UAE land transport service is a popular choice for business travelers and families alike. We provide direct transfers via the Al Batha / Ghuwaifat border crossing, from Saudi Arabia to Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
This is a long overland journey — typically the better part of a day depending on your starting city — so we use vehicles built for long-distance comfort and plan the route with rest stops in mind.
Pickup is also available from Riyadh. For the most direct leg of this journey, see our Riyadh → Dubai route.
Al Batha / Ghuwaifat Border
The Al Batha / Ghuwaifat Border is the land crossing this journey uses between Saudi Arabia and UAE. Our role is the transportation on both sides of the crossing and the drive itself — immigration, customs and entry decisions remain entirely with the border authorities, not with us.

This is a long overland journey — typically the better part of a day including the border crossing, depending on your starting city and traffic.
