* Possess a Qatari ID.

* A letter from sponsor

* Get your eyes tested and have them recorded in the fitness form and then proceed to the driving school..

Smoke.. thanks for reminding..

Are you forgetting about needing a sponsor's letter and a report of eye test before you go to the driving school? Or have they suddenly changed the rules now?

"just go to the DRIVING SCHOOL n pay 1280QR for lesson for 12 hours."

as far as i know this 12 hours can be take 1hr/day. Can this also be take like more than an hour per day? Like 4 hrs a day to decreased the numbers of days that you must go to driving school, i mean if 4hrs/session you must go only for 3 days for the lesson, unlike 1hr/session meaning you have to go 12 days.

I am taking lessons at Al Rayyah .. Have paid around 1130 for a quarter course...with 12 on road lessons and 6 theory /classroom/simulator classes..After taking 3 or 4 classes, pay another 50 QAR for registering for the test.

Complete all your theory and on road sessions, and then take ur test. In case ,you( hope you do not) fail in first attempt, you can re-take the test by paying another 250 QAR. Failure on second attempt would entail you to regist for a fresh ( qtr,half or full )course all over again.Pay a small tip to ur driver and he might teach you some special lessons on clearing the driving test.

All the best and hope you don't turn out to be just another brash driver speeding like a maniac on the roads here in Qatar

Cheers

which is the best driving school? i have heard that some where they fails us purposely in the driving test?

If the license is valid for 5 years then do we have to give a re-test after 5 years again?
