dorothylittle, I understand your frustration about unanswered phones.....but what can you do? There are a number of countries that have a reciprocal licensing scheme of some sort..... I know that coming from the US, we are not required to get a Bahrain driving license, our US one will suffice. I would imagine it is up to your friend's insurance company as to whether or not you're permitted to/covered driving her car. Mine is leased, and only my husband and myself are listed on the lease.

I am not sure but I heard that you need eye test and pay 15BD they will provide you plastic photo credit card style licence.

Does anyone know if it is OK to drive someone's car ie a private vehicle not a rental - in Bahrain on a UK driver's license. I have tried to contact numerous companies including Directorate of Traffic with no success as no-one ever seems to answer the phone. I live in Saudi and have the use of a friends car in Bahrain so want to be able to drive. Thanks
