I have been living in the Kingdom of Bahrain for the past 35 years, and I have already travelled to most of the GCC countries in all these years. I feel fortunate to have seen almost all countries during my stay in Bahrain and I loved almost all of them. I had the opportunity to visit the UAE a decade ago with my family and I had enjoyed my stay, but I always wanted to travel to the UAE by car and this Eid Al Azha, I had the opportunity to drive my way to the UAE, through Saudi Arabia. I must say it was an incredible experience driving all the way from Bahrain to the UAE. I loved driving in the UAE.
This is the first time I could travel to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Fujairah on my own. It was one of the best travel experiences I ever had in 35 years of my international journey. Even Immigration officials at the UAE border were very courteous and friendly. It was smooth bringing my car to the UAE. No wonder lots of travellers from GCC countries are driving to the UAE in their own car. I had a great time during my 10 days of stay in the UAE, but I want to visit again next year to explore more.
