HI BROTHER,

YOU CAN DRIVE WITH YOUR UAE LICENCE ONLY 7 DAYS WITH STARTING ON YOUR ARRIVAL DATE TO QATAR.IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE FURTHER YOU HAVE TO CONVERT IT TO VALID QATAR LICENSE WITH COMPANY REQUEST.FOR THAT YOU HAVE TO ATTEND ONLY FOR THE EYE CHECKING IN QATAR TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT AND EITHER YOU OR COMPANY WILL BE CHARGED QR.150 TO GET VALID DRIVING LICENSE.

HAVE A SAFE DRIVE.

CHEERS

Yes you can, your UAE license is a GCC license. Just a friendly reminder.. drive defensively. Cheers! :)
