driving from medina to mecca takes 4 hrs if you going at 120km/h. qatar to mecca would be at least 20hrs. how do them saudis let your OG ass in their country every month?

sxb have you noticed the reckless driving of the Arabs, I experienced it 4 years ago when I was over there..They had modern amenities, such as roads and infrastructure but they were like reer miyi Bedouins ...Are Qataris like that as well?

Lol Jamal, I never had issues I pass alihsa'a, riyah to Mecca. They know me by my first name. I do not have to have passport either. Alhamdlilah.
It's okay bro. I got use to it. Night time is little danger but is so relaxing in the desert.

They know you by first name?
Can I come with you next time? I will be in Qatar next summer. Actually it takes about 13.5 hrs to drive from Qatar to Mecca as per google maps, so I think it is manageable.
