Crossing from Iran to Qatar by ferry with a van
I'm planing a trip by car from Portugal to Qatar for the WC2022 and I'd like to know if it's possible to cross from Iran to Qatar by ferry with a van and, in case there are multiple crossing locations, what's the best option. Thank you.
Best Answer
Ferries between Iran and Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia are not currently operating.
There does appear to have been a ferry from Bushehr to Doha that started operating in 2019,, but this does not appear to be in operation any longer.
The above link lists three Persian Gulf ferry routes that might conceivably be useful:
- Bandar Abbas (Iran) – Sharjah (UAE)
- Bandar Lengeh (Iran) – Dubai (UAE)
- Khorramshahr (Iran) – Kuwait
Any of these three ferries would then involving transiting by road through Saudi Arabia. This is not as difficult as it once was; in particular, Saudi Arabia starting issuing tourist visas to citizens of several countries (including all EU countries) in late 2019.

There is a ferry line between Iran (Bushehr) and Qatar which is not operating currently. Based on the evidence, this ferry will not start operating soon, so we suggest rerouting your itinerary if you really want to go Qatar.
