yes any GCC license can work anywhere in GCC country.
and when you can get your iqama you have just to rechange the driving license to the same iqama number. it will take only 5 minutes there. you dont need any paper from your company.
best regards.

you can not drive on your saudi license if you left on final exit. once you leave on final exit, all saudi documents automatically become invalid, despite the date of validity printed on them. and since you don't have a uae license, you can't drive in saudi at all. you will have to take taxis.
