Chage dubai licence to oman licence

Hi,
I have valid Dubai driving licence (Automatic).  Now I am  working at Oman and wish to get Oman DL. Should I surrender my UAE licence for that?. Any complicated procedure for this? And one more thing, can I change the Oman DL to UAE DL when I reach UAE in future?   Actually I am so worried to change my Dubai DL.
Please help me to clear the mist.

Hello wilsonvthomas,

Welcome on board!

You will not have to surrender any licenses. They will probably need to verify the license for authenticity and there might be an eye-test. However, G.C.C licenses can be converted in other states.

The place to check for up-to-date information is the ROP center at Seeb, its near the Oman Automobile Center.....

Also in Oman, males are allowed to take only Manual licenses and Automatic is only an option for ladies. With this logic, they might not accept an automatic license.

Recently, there was a move to integrate all GCC Licenses that could be used in any of the G.C.C nations without hassles, it should carry the G.C.C mark on the top left corner, here is a news article link on that
