Driving license in qatar
Hi Friends,
Am an Indian citizen working in Qatar on a business visa & on company sponsorship. I have a valid saudi driving license. When i went to convert it and take a temporary Qatar license, they told me that saudi license can no more be converted. I have an international driving permit IDP issued from saudi arabia. Please let me know, whether i can drive using my IDP accompanied by saudi license.
Is it necessary that the IDP should be from my home country, INDIA??? please help.
Can we change Dubai Driving License?

Sometime ago the law was in Qatar anyone can change their Saudi Licence to Qatar but now no more converting Saudi licence to Qatar, even you had Saudi Licence you have to go for training one week or 12 days. otherwise you will not get.
Wouldn't it be better to check with Traffic or Police. this will ensure you get the correct information.
You could also check with a car rental company
The best place to check regarding this, please visit the Traffic Department, time to time rules change. dont take a chance by driving unknowingly!
