Unclear. On some sites found the answer that in accordance with local law No. 78 of 1986, only citizens with local rights can drive vehicles on the territory of the UAE. If you are involved in a traffic accident, the insurance company may refuse to provide insurance for the damage suffered, that is, if there is an international driver's license, there may be problems with the insurance payment?

This law concerns private vehicles. Those who stay on the territory of the UAE on a tourist visa can enjoy international rights. And, in order to avoid problems with insurance companies, it is better to use vehicles rented at official rental outlets.
