My wife is coming over to visit me for a week. Can she drive my hire car with her British driving license or does she need to apply for the temporary license?

After 7 days she can obtain a temporary driving licence very easily the validty will be same as her visa validity.

She can drive for 7 days from date of entry to Qatar on a UK licence or 6 months if she applies for and brings an international licence with her.

I believe she will be able to drive a car for 1 week only on her british licence. Best to check with your car hire company first though as they will need a copy of her licence.
