"Americans can no longer directly exchange their licence for a Qatari licence, but need to take a test first. British and some other nationalities can still exchange their licence directly for a Qatari one."

You can use your US licence to hire a car, but I think that is only if you are here on a visitors visa.

Other than that you will have to take a driving test because Qataris have to take on in the US.
