This One Meme Accurately Sumps Up The Driver’s License Grapple In Dubai

Most Dubai residents, if not 99% of them, know how difficult it is to get a driver’s license. Nobody knows why, other than there are SOOOO many exams and they’re very precise and the whole process is just $$$

We came across this meme that is just so relatable to residents who have gotten their driver’s licenses from Dubai. They know the struggle.

Getting your Dubai driver’s license is VERY hard, expensive and teaches you to not fear failure
… because you will at least once.

Getting your diploma from a university is a milestone that people celebrate with a ceremony, balloons, flowers, fireworks if you’re boujie

But man, getting your driver’s license in Dubai is a whole other celebration.

Yes, getting the driver’s license from Dubai is a little pricey but TEEHEE when you fail

Now add the cost of failing a test, paying to repeat it, and paying for extra classes so that you don’t fail again, that equals to an empty wallet

So you better pass the first time ’round!

including a drivers license ofc uae does it it frkin costs 2k-3k aed for a license

Did we mention you have to pay a fee to get the license made?

But this is a standard in most of the region’s countries.

In the US I paid the price of the plastic used to make the drivers license. You don’t wanna know how much I paid in dubai 😭

Although we give an A+ to Dubai’s public transportation syste, getting around with a car is just so much more convenient

Plus it means there are NO limits barred on the amount of road trips you can take.

living in the uae without a drivers license is really prison imo

It’s also a lengthy process with a theory test, 2 in school tests, a multitude of RTA tests

…and probably more.

I think I’ll die of old age before getting my drivers license in Dubai

But you know what, because you worked so hard on that license, you drive like a pro!

And who doesn’t love that part?
