Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has launched an initiative called the “Golden Chance,” allowing non-approved countries like Pakistan, India, and the Philippines, to swap their driving licenses without taking driving lessons.
Before this initiative, non-approved countries were required to take driving classes and tests to be eligible for swapping driving licenses for local ones. Now, expats from such countries can do so by only taking theory and road tests.

The approved countries can swap their licenses by simply visiting RTA. These countries include France, Hong Kong, Denmark, Ireland, Canada, the US, South Africa, the UK, etc.
Expats from certain countries like Lithuania and Greece must give up their foreign licenses to get the Dubai one.
Individuals over 18 years old who cannot drive can take driving lessons at one of the following institutes in Dubai:
- Emirates Driving Institute

New Cycling Tunnel in Dubai
RTA has recently opened a cyclists’ tunnel with a capacity of 800 bikes per hour in the Al Meydan area of Dubai. The tunnel, spanning over 160 meters in length and 6.6 meters in width, is part of RTA’s aim to make Dubai a bicycle-friendly city.
The tunnel gives cyclists a way to exercise without worrying about collisions with other cars and gives them an uninterrupted path for their ride.
