Good to know
Practical information to help you prepare for the crossing.
Nuwaiseeb border is open 24/7
The Nuwaiseeb (Kuwait) / Khafji (Saudi) crossing operates around the clock every day of the year. Border wait times vary by day, traffic and passenger volume — weekends and holiday periods can be busier, so allow additional time when planning your departure.
Have these documents at the window
When your vehicle reaches the border booth, have your original passport open to the photo page, your Kuwait Iqama (for residents), and your Saudi entry visa or e-visa confirmation ready. There are two separate checkpoints a short distance apart — keep documents accessible for both.
What to expect at the crossing
At the Nuwaiseeb crossing, passengers typically wait in a lounge or remain in the vehicle while the driver handles the vehicle inspection lane. You will be called to the passport counter to stamp out of Kuwait and then stamp into Saudi Arabia.
Rest stops
Common rest opportunities include major fuel and service areas around Hafr Al-Batin and further south toward Buraydah. Your driver can arrange stops according to your group's needs — let us know your preference when booking.
Prayer times during the journey
The journey typically spans two to three prayer times depending on departure time. Drivers stop at mosques or petrol station prayer areas on request — let us know your preference when booking.
Payment at the border
The vehicle insurance and crossing-related fees for the vehicle are arranged by our team before departure and included in your quoted fare. You pay the driver directly on completion of the journey.
