Well first of all make sure which car you going to drive because most cars not allowed in Europe and USA for example Toyota Camry model 2002 and above which made specially for Arabian gulf and middle east countries not allowed to enter USA and May be Europe. so your first country will be Saudi Arabia and their rules are women not allowed to drive but very soon they are going to allowed only above 40 years women the progress is under study so u have only one option to cargo your car to Quryat City border with Jordon and don't forget to fill gas from this city because its cheap and after this city the gas are more expansive and u have to travel by bus or plane to this city after that u may to drive from Jordon to Syria and then turkey remember in turkey gas is too expansive after that first Europe country u have to enter is Bulgaria I don't have experience in Europe country but as my knowledge after Bulgaria u should drive to Romania then hungry then Austria and your final destination Germany.

1: So you need transfer VISA of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and turkey and I think in Europe no need for Visa.
And transfer visa is valid for 15 days for one way only and most country can't required any document for transfer Visa they have to grand transfer visa if you show your final destination country passport or visa

2: International Driving License and car Insurance paper for all countries which you going to pass over them.

3 .as my advice put some money inside passport for Jordon, Syria, And Turkey Check points because they disturb you too much in borders if you put some money inside documents they will not check or waste your time just they take money and say have a nice journey but don't try in Saudi Arabia in case any Country officer asked you why you put money inside documents just say I forgot it inside don't put too much money they will ask for more from 5 to 10$ is enough.

4. Never stop for any one on the way even if some one die on road if the road was block just turn around as fast as you can and don't eat food in any restaurants out of cities always keep doors lock and try to drive in day instate of Night and if you saw any Saudi Car on way keep away from then because their driving are complete different then entire world.

I wish I can help you more then this. Feel free to contact.

And have a nice journey
Thank you very much. That was helpful.
I'm driving with hubby and son so no problem in Saudi.
