As the ongoing Iran vs US-Israel conflict continues to disrupt air travel across the Middle East, a travel influencer’s journey across the desert from Doha to Riyadh has gone viral on social media. Singapore-based digital creator SuperAdrianMe shared a video documenting his experience leaving Qatar by road after flights were disrupted, offering a first-hand glimpse into how travellers are improvising escape routes during the regional crisis.
Taking to his social media handle, the creator posted the video and captioned it, “Leaving Doha to Riyadh by land Here’s my experience crossing by land. It was safe and smooth, but much longer than Google Maps suggests (sic).” He advised travellers to prepare for 10 to 12 hours of travel, obtain a Saudi eVisa before boarding and expect delays at border checkpoints before reaching Saudi Arabia.
