Can I convert my foreign driving licence to a UAE licence?
Yes — if your country is on the UAE's approved exchange list (40+ countries including UK, US, EU, Australia, Canada), you can exchange directly: eye test, application, and AED 900–1,200 in fees. No driving test required. Other nationalities must complete a full RTA driving course (20–40 lessons, AED 4,000–8,000). Check the RTA approved country list first.
How much does petrol cost in Dubai?
UAE fuel prices are updated monthly by the Federal Petrol Price Committee and are subsidy-free since 2015. As of early 2026, Special 95 is approximately AED 2.67/L and Super 98 is approximately AED 2.78/L. This is cheaper than Europe but more expensive than GCC neighbours. Fill up before long highway trips — prices are identical across the UAE.
