I'm just kicking ideas on route and costs around at the moment.
The route will probably be Dubai, through Saudi, Egypt, ferry from Port Said, possibly then to either Greece or Italy and then onto the UK from there.
I know I will need to get a Carnet de Passage from the ATC UAE. Will call them this week to find out details.
Anyone got any tips or advice on these trips from first hand experience?
Cheers,

Hi Nick - I'm in Dubai and just starting to plan something similar but with 2 other British guys and by Motorbike rather than Car.
We've already concluded Iran is easier than Saudi, takes a month to get Visa sorted apparently and just been told by Travel Agent that you need to go on a Guided Tour as we are British?
Ferry goes from Dubai or Sharjah into Iran. Then you are "accompanied" across Iran and onto the Turkish Border, where I guess you need another Visa.
As long as you've owned the Jeep for more than 6 months you shouldn't get hit with Export or Import Tax.
You need a Carnet de Passage and need to de-register it in Dubai before travelling. That's what I know so far!
Trying to check this out... but if you're still planning and haven't gone be good to swop notes. Cheers Jonny
PS: I've also got a Jeep Wrangler in Dubai - JK
