Motorists who commit violations like driving with no authorized license, driving under the influence of liquor, driving in the opposite direction of traffic flow, escaping from the accident site, causing sound and air pollution and exceeding the speed limit would be punishable by imprisonment from one month to three years or fined QR 10,000 to 50,000 or both.

nothing much they will just escort you to cell

and from there they will arrange for your flight

and then wil escort you to the plane to make sure you are on the plane and wait till the plane takes off.

Zero tolerance. Get caught driving with ANY trace of alcohol in your system and you'll probably be deported before you can say "one for the road".
