About GCC Roadwise
The complete, expert-reviewed driving authority for all six GCC countries.
Our mission
GCC Roadwise exists to make driving across the Gulf clear and stress-free. From a single fine amount to a 1,200 km border crossing, we turn scattered official rules into practical, up-to-date guides for residents and visitors across the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
How we research
Primary sources
We start from RTA, Royal Oman Police and other official GCC authority publications.
Cross-checked
Figures like fines and fees are checked against more than one official source.
Expert reviewed
Guides are reviewed by people who drive these routes and know the paperwork.
Quarterly updates
Rules and fines are reviewed every quarter and after any major change.
