      Hi,
      If you are not a GCC national, you will have to go through this hassle. However, you may not get the classes but go straight for exams.

      Hi,
      You will need to check with the driving school. I think you will still have to pass the test you will not have to go through classes (this is the rule for Bahrain’s license and I believe it is the same for all GCC).

    hi there. i am trying to clarify… I am going back to Europe at Christmas, I have had my license “taken away” but my girlfriend has a UAE license. She is not from any EU country, she is from Russia. How can she hire a car in her name with a foreign passport, and UAE license? She only has a tourist visa to visit 4 european countries.

    your help is much appreciated. thank you.

    Hi,
    Iam a citizen of India I have a valid UK driving license, How far I can drive in Dubai with that license.And what are the procedures to be followed to change that in to a valid full UAE driving license. Is that specifically mentioned that Citizens of GB and other EU and other specified countries can only change there license through certain paper works in the rules or a valid license holder from this country is permitted to do so. If we are not permitted why is such discrimination while we are going through all the procedures which those national are fulfilled for their license.

      Hi Riyas, you will have to take driving classes. Your SA license is an advantage because you will have to take fewer classes. Check with any of Dubai’s driving schools.

      Hi Umair, I think you should be able to do it but you better check with a car rental company. If you find out, please write about your experience here. I would be interested to know this too.

      Hi Rassak, if you are a GCC national, you can covert your license. Otherwise, you will have to go through the classes. Check with one of UAE driving schools.
