could be!
really don't think I would fancy driving a RHD over here anyway with the standard of driving. Have driven a RHD when living in Europe and an LHD when living back in England. Wouldn't do it here!!

Re: RHD cars in Dubai

The only way you can drive a RHD car here is if it was converted to LHD a while back. Most here are registered in Ras Al Khaimah or Umm Al Quain with very few with Abu Dhabi or Dubai plates.

Even if you do buy the car, the registration cannot be transferred onto any expats name. Only UAE nationals can renew the plates.

there is a thread on the uae boost forum with more info
