Middle East - Not Astran!

Hi Robert
I did my first trip to Doha in 1989 and they were in use then, a different graphic though. I think that they were implemented in the early-mid eighties. But I stand to be corrected.
How’s your Arabic ? the writing on “my” transit plate is different to the writing on “your” transit plate. And there is a map of Saudi in the centre of mine

Here is an example of an early Saudi Transit Plate.
See the difference ?
