How does the Dubai to Riyadh border crossing work?

Passengers are driven to the UAE-KSA border by a UAE-side vehicle. At the border, you cross on foot through immigration on both sides. A separate KSA-side vehicle meets you on the Saudi side for the onward journey to Riyadh. Our operations team coordinates both vehicles.

What documents do I need to enter Saudi Arabia?

A valid passport and Saudi tourist visa are required. Tourist visas are available online for many nationalities through the Saudi eVisa portal. Our team can advise on eligibility and requirements when you contact us.

Why are two vehicles needed for the Dubai to Riyadh route?

UAE-registered vehicles cannot cross into Saudi Arabia and vice versa. SapheWay coordinates a UAE-side vehicle to the border and a KSA-registered vehicle from the border to Riyadh, ensuring a seamless relay transfer.
