I think you can convert it, visit a traffic dept. and they will guide you.

If you are interested to join a driving school, please have a look at the link below.

Its valid up to 10 days upon arrival or you could get a temporary license if staying longer.

If you are going to work here, you could have it converted to a Qatar driving license. You just have to submit an eye test report, completed form, photo, passport/visa copy and 250QR at the traffic department. They give back your UAE license.

That will depend on what are you in Qatar for?? Are you just passing by?? then no issue whatsoever to use the license (I guess for visitors it can be used up to one month, but check again)

Are you here to stay and work?? then you might need to apply for a valid , QDL otherwise you could be fined when checked by authorities.

Regards!!
