I have just discovered that there is a law which allows people to get a temporary driving licence in Abu Dhabi if they are waiting for a residence visa to be processed, or if they are here on a visit visa. The licence is valid for 6 months, is issued by the Traffic Police and allows the bearer to drive private cars. To apply for the temporary licence, you will need your full driving licence, and your passport. You will have to fill in a form at the Traffic Police Licencing Department and pay Dhs110. This should take less than half an hour.
While this is a great new facility for visitors to Abu Dhabi, I would still recommend bringing an International Driving Licence with you for backup!
