You don't say when you will be travelling, at the moment we are lead to believe the border at Safwan is closed due to the virus, no one in or out, not that its applicable to you but the airports are closed too to international travel, last update we had was 11th April for the aiports, dont know about the land borders.
I am assuming you are thinking about taking Route 1 from Safwan up to Baghdad. Then picking up Route 2 passed Taji up towards Kirkuk and on to Erbil?
You say its only 930km that is however, 930km, littered with Check points which may slow you down.
There are also ISIS and PMU who are still causing issues in the Baghdad and Northern areas. Just something for you to be aware of. As a lot of it does not make main news anymore due to it being old news!
I am still sat in the Basra Oilfields working in Security, where we get daily intel reports, with no way in or out and no end in sight at the moment.
The one great advantage will be is that you are a Saudi National, I wish you the best of luck if you decide to do it.
