Abu Dhabi - Getting a driving licence/lessons
Hi
I need to find out how easy it will be and how long it would take to get a driving licence in Abu Dhabi for someone who has no licence.
Person in question can drive a car but has never taken a test.
I have heard vague stories of having to do a ridiculous amount of lessons and then it taking 2 months for the licence to arrive.
My friend will only be in Abu Dhabi for 6 months, so this wouldn't be great.
If anyone has any info on this, I'd appreciate it. I have searched the interwebby but without much luck.
Thanks

Honestly...get the licence before going to Abu Dhabi..if you have the same passport as the licence and it is issued in a recognised country, then it is a simple conversion. If you do not have a licence then you would have to attend a course at the Emirates Driving School. It is expensive but it does not take that long.
Hope this helps

anyone got any info on how expensive Emirates Driving School is ie how much an hour and how many hours required ? I imagine they say you need to do a minimum of x hours even if you can already drive ?
