Saudi buying a Bike in Dubai
Hey there,
I live in Saudi (resident) and found a good deal in Dubai. what does it take for an expat to buy a bike in Dubai and bring it back to Saudi to register it there?
Also thinking about riding it to Lebanon this summer: Saudi --> Jordan --> Syria --> Lebanon...anyone done that before?
Cheers,

Import
Hi
Back in 2000, I shipped my bike from the UK to Jeddah and it took 10 days.
It then took 6 weeks to clear it from customs and have it sent to Riyadh even though the bike was registered in my name.
Good luck,

It would be mush different/difficult for the OP (Aboulsimm) as he wants to "buy" the bike from Dubai/UAE and it wont be registered in his name while being imported. Makes a big difference man.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
