Qatari Driving License

Hi Friends, I am on visit visa to Qatar and want to know how to get driving license of Qatar.

I am having UAE resident visa and used to visit Qatar almost every month for 15-20 days on visit visa due to my nature of work. My company is about to start new branch in Qatar. So I may get my Qatar resident via in coming months.

My problem is that though I am having UAE resident visa, but having Omani driving license. Can I drive rent a car in Qatar in this case? Please advise and guide me.

I am here since last 15 days and facing lot of difficulties as I've wait 15 minutes to 2 hours for the Taxi here in Qatar. I wonder what kind of transportation system here is.
ANyway, plz plz plz help n guide me.
