Road trip
July 30, 2005
A friend of mine in UAE want to come to kuwait in his car , and i wanted to go on a road trip for a long time
So i go with a friend of mine from kuwait to UAE , right now i’m in the UAE , i have one thing to say about that road
Its sucks
All the way from kuwait boarder till you get to UAE boarders just suck
Sands and sands and sands , and then more sand
They are building more road , but still like over 70% of the road is a 2 way road ( which suck when you are stuck behind a truck or you get someone trying to overtake the truck on the other side )
The drive from kuwait to Sharjah took around 15 hours , i was driving the first 13 hours ( my ass hurt a lot )
and some part of the road in saudi weren’t in a good shape which didn’t help much either
I just wish there was some kind of ferry that take you from kuwait to Dubai
i saw on Top gear program on the BBC a clip and they went on a ferry from newcastle to norway , and they said it was a 13 hour trip , but the ferry had beds and it had resturants
Just like ur trip to the US, sa7? ;P

We’re planning a road trip from Q8 to Dubai inshAllah, how similar is it to road trips from Kuwait to Makkah? What are things we should expect to see (or not)?
I would like more info, please.. Are the rest stops clean, are there many travellers on the road.. etc
Anything you can post would be most appreciated. Since I’m not driving, I don’t mind the sand because I’ll be reading all along inshAllah.
Thanks in advance.

TK
The restroom in the stop aren’t clean
there are many stops between kuwait and dammam and many travelers also
but once you cross dammam you see less people and less stops , i would advice that you fill your tank once it get around 1/4 if you see a stop , they are far between after dammam
