International driving license

Hello Sherifkhaled,

Yes, you can use your international license in Bahrain on a tourist visa.

Thnk u for ur answer, but any details about what i have to do, or do i just get a car and drive that's it?

Yes, you get your international license, your passport and that's it. You can go and rent a car.

Well i went today to the traffic directory and asked if  i can use th international DL i have from Egypt and he said no. Because simply they don't approve of it.  Really weird.  Since without a car it's really hard to move around, but i managed to use the buses, not perfect but it's fine

Have you told them that you wanted to use your license on a tourist visa? You're on a tourist visa, right? Have you told them that?

I think if you go directly to a car hire place it will be fine, I went to Avis and only had to show my international drivers license, I am also on a tourist visa, it was no problem.

Yes i told them that,  i think the international license differs according to where it was issued from, they don't approve of it if u get it from certain countries
