Hello,
I am about to import my japanese-made car, which of course is right-hand drive. Can anyone tell me if these cars are allowed to circulate in Saudi Arabia? Thanks for your answer.

unfortunately the right handed driver seats are not allowed in the kingdom.
but this is not an official answer, as I speak from general knowledge only. I have never seen a right handed car in saudi ever.
although I do know that there are some activities in Japan where the cars are modified to left handed driver seats. and I'm told its not a reccomended thing. but thats an option.
good luck.
Salman
PS:
what is your car by the way?

Even if they did allow it, I don't think it would be such a good idea in the KSA ... I hear the driving can be terrible there, and if it's the same road situation in Qatar, making a mistake or even the slightest hesitation before entering a roundabout could be disastrous.
