I exported many cars to the middle east before and the cost varies depending on the type of the car and year model. Usually it costs around $1400 (or $3000 in a container). All cars I shipped were used cars. I always buy a car (no tax or registration), get the title and ship it out. However, once I tried to buy a brand new BMW and pay for it in cash so I can get the title to ship it out but the dealer refused to sell me the car with out paying taxes and registering the car and getting a tag. There reason was it's a state law for brand new cars. To me paying that high percentage of taxes and registering for that car was pointless since the car wont be driven here at all. Also, to my knowledge in my state I have a 20 days period from purchasing the car to pay the taxes and registration.
