Saudi Arabian law prohits women from driving. Hence, Saudi local woman are granted permission to sponsor one driver of any nationality to be her driver. Woman who are in car if they are not blood related cant sit in front seat with driver.
Many woman had protested to get our fundamental rights to drive and work in the knigdom during last years but it didnt happened yet. Hope you are comforatble with above clarifications.

Answered by Aristotle Muta , Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi because they are thinking that it will be dangerous if they will let women do the driving. Saudi is vastly a desert, and this will be a jeopardy on a woman’s life if it will happen that they will have a flat tire on the way. In a conservative Islamic society where women are not allowed to drive, we often see it as too hard for women to live. But let us respect their own culture, and they should respect also our opinion. In GCC countries, only in Saudi women are not allowed to drive at all. All other GCC countries are more open.

You can drive safe'n'sound! Completely unlike Saudi! ;)
But you'll most likely end up using cabs anyways while on holiday. They are much easier to get around Dubai and they know all the local hotspots.

Dubai is rather a liberal muslim state. Dubai is not located at Saudi Arabia, but we are part of United Arab of Emirates (UAE). There are different laws and rules imposed, however basic islamic rights and laws are still tight. Woman are treated with decency and respect over here, provided laws and rules are not broken.

To your question, women drives freely over at Dubai. All you need a valid driving license.

Dubai is a beautiful city, peaceful, very clean and an elegant city. I would highly recommend you to visit Dubai. If you have more questions, about Dubai, please feel free to ask more. I will be happy to respond.

Women do drive in Dubai, however in saudi they are still not allowed to drive. Dubai is more open and wearing the hijab is not compulsory.

Answered by Asish Chakrabarti , Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Sure sure, they are very much allowed to drive in UAE. Over that, Women drivers are given respect here. The are always given way, whenever possible practically. Live alone the Hindu and Christian women drivers, even the Emirati local ladies, drive huge 4WD's boldly. You are right, in Saudi its still a taboo.
