Yes, its around 10 hours drive to Dubai, there are a couple of routes. Take the Riyadh - Dammam Rd - Houfuf - UAE route, even though 100km longer than the "empty quarter" route, its much more convenient and safe.

search the forums for more information...there are detailed step by step instructions on immigration, customs etc. etc.

have fun!
