No, you cannot use your UAE license for 3 months, as you require a temporary license, especially for insurance reasons. Police usually checks passport rather than driving licence.

I converted my UAE licence last week, so I know what is required/ possible.

Thanks for the Info.

Do I need to go to Madinat Khalifa for a temporary lincense or should I inform the concerned department about the driving.

Can you share any link to verify this....
