Greetings, anyone recently traveled by road from Saudi Arabia (Al Khobar) to UAE. I applied for visa through a local agent in Dammam and whne I told him that I did not want to go by flight he told me that once a visa is granted, the port of entry does not matter.
Any experiences of successful travel are appreciated. I am traveling on 14th August eith stay in Abu dhabi and then in Dubai.
I did travel by road back in Sep 2015.
Appreciate your support and feedback.
Regards
Murtaza

The port of entry is not mentioned on the visa. You can travel via the land borders. I have done it quite often.

Thank you for this information. May I ask when was the last time you visited UAE.

Since you have travelled multiple times, do they take IRIS or Biometric Scan each time?
Thank you for your reply.
