Driving Schools

I live and work in the West Bay Area, and I am looking for a driving school that is not halfway to Saudi Arabia.
I'm also trying to just convert a US-based driver's license, but can't seem to find much useful information from anyone.

Does anyone have experience converting from a US based license, or does anyone have a recent experience at a driving school (positive) with a phone number for that school? Your help is much appreciated as I am about to blow my top.

Thanks!

"Americans can no longer directly exchange their licence for a Qatari licence, but need to take a test first."

US driving license can be converted to Qatar immediately. No need for going to any driving school. Just go to Traffic department and fill the form and after eye test they will just issue the license over the counter.
