My Wife has an Algerian Driving License and just got residency in Qatar. We would like to know what is the fastest and cheapest way for her to get a Qatari license, we need advice on:
*Good Schools.
*Cost.
*Waiting time.
*Duration of lessons

Thanks

We decided to go for Alraya driving school, this Karwa school is too far and the industrial area is just a mess all the time. I live in Gharafa so it doesn't help. We went to Alraya and wife decided to go for the test without any lessons, we still need to see the officer in charge, to pay and get a test date. but man that place stinks, good thing the staff are friendly.

from WOQOD depot R/A....take right if you coming from Abu Hammour or straight if you come from Al Hilal area... then maybe 5km from WOQOD R/A, you will found one more R/A....from there take left...there is KARWA security booth/gate....you will see KARWA office 1km from there......but the easiest way is...take a ride with bus no 21 and pay qr3....he he he

Brother you can call qtel 180 and ask the phone number of karwa and u can contact them, i know where it is but im really bad on explaining to someone about the location lol....you take airport road like u r going to wakra go straight after shop rite and few markets u will get to traffic lights , turn right like u r going to industrial area , second roundabout turn left straight to another roundabout go straight straight and keep looking on ur left u will see green building. ha ha ha i dont know if i made it!

I dont live with example..Reather I prefer to be an example!

salut confrere....je te suggere d'aller directement voir KARWA driving school, c'est rapid et c'est serieux....puisqu'elle conduit deja alors elle devrait choisir une formation d'une semaine, le cout est de 1200 QR.

cette ecole est situee au niveau de la zone industrielle, la ou tout les bus et taxi de karwa parquent...alors bon courage..si t'as besoin de plus d'informations n'hesite pas a m'envoyer un message....

Les hypocrites,comme les abeilles,ont le miel à la bouche et l'aiguillon caché...
