Nuwaiseeb Khafji Coastal GCC Weekend Traffic Pulse
The 221-kilometer border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is a constant conduit of movement between two closely allied Gulf nations. This flat desert frontier is less a barrier and more a busy interchange for citizens, residents, and a huge volume of commercial goods. Your crossing experience here will be one of modern infrastructure and high traffic volume.
Salmi Raqi Truck Route in Allied Desert Flow
There are two primary border crossings for your use. The Nuwaiseeb-Khafji crossing is located on the main coastal highway, serving as the most direct route and handling the majority of traffic. Further to the west lies the Salmi-Raqi crossing, which is a key route for commercial trucking and those traveling from more western parts of the countries.
