We are moving out to Dubai next year from the UK and my 17 year old is wanting to learn to drive is that possible to do in Dubai or should he learn in the UK first?
It is possible however he will have to wait till he is 18 years old before he can drive. I would suggest he learns back in the UK as he will not be able to swop the UAE license for a UK license. A learner driver is required to take at least 40 classes before qualifying for the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) test. If the student fails in the RTA test, they will be required to take eight additional lessons so it can become very costly.
