My dad has a job developing the new Doha airport, but I'm living in the uk. I have some money Saved and I want to buy a 250cc pit bike for use in Qatar but I don't know the laws on dune bashing. Is there a minimum age or need a licence? Thanks in advance

Drive at your own risk as insurance does cover off road driving.

No specific License to drive in the desert!

However you need a driving license to drive a specific type vehicle indicated in your license in Qatar.

Quad bikes, desert vehicles like ATVs do not require a Driving license...

I strongly believe the above is true but if any of the above info is not true would love to know...
