Moksin said he and his family had left Qatar on March 15 to Saudi Arabia by car to perform Umrah.
They stayed in Makkah for three days and continued their spiritual journey to Madinah to visit the Prophet’s city.
After performing the rituals, they proceeded to Riyadh on Tuesday and arrived in the capital around at dawn.
Tired from the 16-hour drive, they left their belongings inside the car because they would be leaving the following day.

However, after a few hours, when he came to get something from the car, the father noticed that their belongings were missing.
“We cannot leave Saudi soil and cannot enter Qatar. My wife is going to report on Sunday,” Moksin told Arab News.

Moksin hoped that Saudi "people will show mercy on us as we are stranded here and it will be an increasing problem for us every single day we stay here."
He said the robbers "can take everything but please return our passports, as they are useless. They are electronic passports and cannot be tampered with."
The incident came amid reports on a sudden increase in crime in the capital, Arab News said.
Incidents involving thefts, robberies, harassment, muggings and car thefts are worrying people, especially expatriates living in notorious districts such as Hayyl Wazarat, Batha, Suwedi and Somaishi, the report said.
