Driving in Bahrain?

I hv international driving license.Is it valid in Bahrain or I hv to pass any test to drive in Bahrain?

It depends from which country. Anyways you will have to go to the traffic department in Bahrain & approve it. If you will stay in Bahrain for a long period, they will require you to issue a Bahraini friving license whih will expire whenevr your residence permit will expire.

You'll have to go to get it approved. I'm not sure if they'll let you go through a test or will directly give you a local license.

However, I do know an Arab who is living in Bahrain recently married to a Bahraini... she went to the (General Directorate of Traffic - Ministry of Interior).. and they stamped her national driving license for a whole year to drive in Bahrain without having a Bahraini license.

An International Driving Permit is necessary (must be obtained prior to
arrival) and must be endorsed by the Traffic and Licensing Directorate. Valid UK licence (if
applicable) will be valid for three months only
