By Murali

Hi All,

Finally I have arrived in Doha today morning. Please let me know when ever you people meet next I would also like to meet you all. I am placed at George Palace II. Over all the first day went on ok for me finished the formalities in the office today.

Can I drive the car in Doha with an international driving licence for 3 weeks atleast or it would be a problem?

and yes, driving is an experience in itself!!!!!!!!!. I've only been a passenger and that is bad enough.

Welcome to Doha. I think with international licence you can drive only for one week, from the date of arrival. But I am not 100% sure, so better check it.
