strongly advise against driving without a license, except for the International driving permit which will give you 7 days or possibly 14 - you should check which.

Why be so concern to know about the punishment, when you MUST be more concern about your own and other people's safety if you drive without a license? There are lots of driving schools here where you can enrol the soonest possible time if you wish, and do your best to pass the test. Goodluck!

if you are on Business Visa and not on RP and if you have an international license youcan drive a car here legally for 6 months from the date of yr entry into Qatar.

You can drive a rented car but you cannoit buy one.

None, as long as they don't catch you. Otherwise it could be QR 1.500
