Steps to convert UAE Driving License to Saudi Driving License

There are two ways of getting the Saudi driving licence either by converting your Dubai driving licence or by applying for new Saudi licence. Convert your licence only in the case if you are going to stay in Saudi Arabia for more than two years otherwise better apply for a new Saudi Driving licence. You can get detailed information on How to Apply for a new Driving License in Saudi Arabia.

Because your licence can be renewed in UAE easily if you go back within 2 years, this should be kept in mind before making licence.
