First the international Driving License is not a Driving License, Just a translation of your DL in several languages and should be provided by an official authority not by any web-based agency.
Second, this does not replace your DL, and you have to keep both documents with you.
Third, the Qatar DL is NOT recognised in many countries, I just checked in France and Belgium and this is not the case at the moment. So check before for every country you plan to visit, since in several countries you will not be allowed to drive.
Generally speaking it seems that it works with reciprocity, nationalities that have to pass the driving test here come from countries that do not recognize the Qatari driving license. This might chance since it seems that obtaining the DL here is getting harder.
