Shipping of vehicle to Djibouti
Does anyone on the forum know of any companies in the UAE or can recommend one, that can ship in a container a 4x4 to Djibouti for an overland drive to Ethiopia. (Haven't decided on which make either a Land Rover or a Toyota)
Hoping it would be a cheaper option, buy a car in UAE and ship rather than in buy in Europe and ship.
Thanks

I think you can buy a car...it's just that you can't drive it as you need a Dubai driving license, and you can't get a license without your residency visa...

I've seen a few Saudis drive recent purchases back from Dubai. They appear to just schlap an import plate on new wheels and head for the border. Not knowing exactly how they do this - agent/family/wasta/GCC resi etc

so far, they have only ever off-roaded my cars but, now I live in the middle of nowhere, it would be good if they could drive them on road.

Interesting - and a point I've always wondered. When I have family over to visit (with an IDP) can they drive my car here? The insurance is unclear, just says 'valid license to drive'.

Get the temp in the same way as you get the normal exchange licence, at the cop shop. Not sure of the process as my PRO did it when we needed to organise for some press from Europe.

Thanks for all info on 'driving licences'.
But I really do require info on shipping companies that can move vehciles.
