Anyone know what the procedure is to get a sharjah driving license?
do i have to take the 20-40 classes like in abu dhabi and dubai?
my residence visa will be from sharjah and i will be living in abu dhabi (dont ask why, its just like that lol)

dont know really about the procedures in sharjah, but i know two things:

while you are giving your final road test, regardless you are pass or fail, once you finish your session with the officer, you get down where you stop driving.

unlike in dubai, where you are taken back to the institute, where you started, in sharjah you are dropped in the middle of the road & you gotta find your way home

secondly, it takes more than 10 tries to get a lisence, a friends brother is at the moment giving his 27th try for god knows how many years,

anyways, best of luck dude

OMG, thanks for the heads up ahamed.
i really really hope the residence visa will be from dubai instead of sharjah.
27tries??? they should have some max limit!!!! lol

Dear Friends,

I'm working as an Electrical Engineer, in Abu Dhabi.
I may get transfer to Dubai after 1 year.
The company is going to apply for my Employment Visa. Since they are having branches in Dubai & Abu Dhabi , they can get either Visa from both of these emirates. Also I can tell them, which visa to take.

I have heard that , Taking Driving License in Abu Dhabi is tougher compared to that of Dubai...Is it true ?


Which is more easier to take ? Driving License from Abu Dhabi or from Dubai ?

How many tests will be there in Abu Dhabi ? How long will it take to get a call to go for driving lessons , after opening the file ?

Please share your opinions with me..
