I got my driver's licence in Saudi Arabia and when I transfered here in Qatar, it was still valid for 2 months. I was able to convert it to Qatar driver's licence because Saudi and Qatar are part of GCC. I just don't know if this is also applicable if you go out of Qatar and convert it to UAE driver's license when you work there. But I have a strong feeling that it can be done since UAE is also part of GCC.
