Driving back used to be a nice option, you have to drive through KSA in under 24hrs as they won't give you a visa for longer whilst driving through Iran is stunning and the Iranians are very hospitable, your problems start after getting out of Iran...
As a Turk id like emphasize on this. Eastern Turkey would be a risky journey. However you can avoid the rough eastern parts of Turkey by driving from Iran to Armenia to Georgia, and from Batumi Georgia following the black sea coastline entering north eastern Turkey would be your best option. Black Sea coast is a beautiful scenic drive.
