One of the most distinctive features of life in the UAE is the driving experience, accessible to both residents and tourists. The country offers world-class road infrastructure across the well-connected, glittering emirates. However, as a tourist, your home country’s driving license might not be valid if your country is not part of the list above. In that case, you will need an international driving permit, which must be secured from your home country.

You can then rent and drive a car legally in the UAE, provided you are here on a valid tourist visa. And if you need a car, you know what to do – Uride.

To summarize, visitors from the GCC, US, UK, Canada, Europe, and certain other countries can drive with their home country driving license without the need for an International Driving Permit (IDP). Make sure you have a valid driving license to get the most exhilarating experience.
