Sun Fun Sea !

I suppose you are saying Indian because all subcontinent people are like Indians while they may be from pakistan, srilanka, bangladesh, nepal etc too. Anyway it's not good to generalise and make such uncalled for statements, especially by an elder like you.

No, you cannot drive, you should have a GCC license not Egyptian.

I totally disagree with "Sun Fun Sea" all the major accidents are not caused by Indians, may be Indians invloved in this accident because of the other party (most of them are locals with crazy driving) and you can see majority in Qatar are Indians that is why you can see more Indians involved in accidents, but not all their faults, and all Indians are not riding bicycles in their past that is because of your lack of knowledge about India. What was the vehicle you used in your country before invent cars? be logic and dont generalize people with your lack of general knowledge.

Mr.Calculator consumes major space for the same answer which is not helping the person with right answer?!, you can not drive a car with Egypitian licence here, as a visitor first 10 days you can drive but later you need to take a temporary driving licence for 3 months. you have to pay 100 riyal for every month and need to take eye-test for this licence.

If you are on a visiting Visa and and you have an international driver license you can use it for 6 month I guess. If you get the permanent residence you can not use the Int driver license anymore.

NO. you cant drive with other then GCC license.

I also think that I can but law is clear.

You need to make all procedure to exchange or make

Qatari an driving license.

Be sure all stories that you can drive is wrong.

If you make any accident then you will see the problems.

Best wishes.

p.s. if you go to make driving license and you fall...make like I was...give to Sudani man big boss there some money and this is it. I give 1000 QAR and in 3 time I get licence. This is not secret just life in Doha. Corruption every where.

Can you imagine that I fall 2 times at driving tests like I dont know how to drive... I have in my 50 years more then 20 diff. nice good cars...

and I have more then 26 years driver lic. and more then

1.000.000 km behind me in all Europe countries...

Not like new comer Indian people who use bicycle before and now make so many accident in Doha. Every day I see 5-6 accident. Driver? So sorry just true-Indian.

GOod luck in driving with proper documents.

Penalty is tooooo high dont make jokes.
