Driving Bahrain to Qatar and back
Hi. We are thinking of staying in Bahrain for the first two weeks of the World Cup in November. If so we would drive to Qatar and back three times. Any advice on if we need visas for the Saudi drive or getting into Qatar?
Also will we need PcR test for any of the three countries to get in and out? any other advice Cheers Rod |

Uh.... why not fly? 40 minute flight. Your passport is all that is needed assuming you have UK passports.
Driving via Saudi is a huge hassle and pointless. |

I thought you cannot fly direct from Bahrain to Qatar. Can you?
Driving through Saudi requires complicated paperwork and it'd be involving three countries rather than just two. The drive is exceedingly dreary from all accounts. Five hours not including any delays at the border crossing, of which there would definitely be some sort of time consuming wait. Flying would be quicker. FlyDubai via Dubai, or fly via Kuwait. But I'm sure there will be some sort of price gouging during the World Cup. If there are no flights between Manama and Doha, I've a feeling cars with Bahraini plates wouldn't be allowed into Qatar.... just a thought. Need to explore this carefully. |
