Driver's License

Translation office

What an adventure the driver's license was - a lot of raised eyebrows from everyone, many documents were stamped, money changed hands, inshalla.

First stop, a local convenience store to buy the special green folder you need for all your documents - 2SAR

Note: $1USD = 3.75SAR

Second stop, clinic for blood test and eye exam - 60SAR

Third stop, police station for general harrasment and stamping of many documents - no cost

Fourth stop, translation "shack" to have your US license information translated to an official Saudi form, much more stamping - 100SAR

Fifth stop, walk across street to driver license office for more harrasment, raised eyebrows, stamping of documents - 400SAR

All of this took six hours - PRICELESS!
