I relcoated to doha a couple of months back form dubai. I was able to transfer my uae driving license by paying a fees of 155 qr.U'll have to do an eyetest though..

The traffic department in qatar is no different than the fish market in dubai. U'll find ladies dressed as ninjas in the front desk who are lazy and speak only arabic!!

Feel free to contact me for any clarifications

I surprise why Dubai License not valid here in Qatar?. AFAIK, GCC License is transferable.

5% tax is dependant.

You can always just drive your car to Qatar instead of shipping it over. But if you want to save on mileage, yes Qatar Airways Cargo is the best way to go.

As for converting your license, it should be quite easy, however you MAY have to redo the driving test.

You WILL have to have an eye test stamped along with some photos in Qatar.

You can do this at any authorized opticians.

Hey, check with Qatar Airways Cargo in Dubai. I know they move cars.

They might be able to offer a quick solution to move your car to Qatar.

With regard to driving licence, I think its better you check with a car rental agency like Europcar/Hertz etc. Or its better if you check with the authorities when you come to Doha.
