Everything about Dallah Driving School — history, services, fees, how to book via Absher, and branch locations across Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's largest and most established driving school network
Dallah Driving School (Dallah Driving Company / DDC) was founded in 1975 in Jeddah and has grown to become the most successful driver training network in Saudi Arabia. It operates under the supervision of the General Directorate of Traffic and holds the largest market share in driver education in the Kingdom.
Each year, more than 250,000 students enrol at Dallah branches across the country. The school is so widely used that the Saudi driving theory exam is commonly referred to as the "Dallah Computer Test" — even though all approved driving schools use the same official format set by the General Directorate of Traffic.
Dallah employs over 200 instructors from different nationalities, allowing courses to be conducted in students' native languages. This makes it especially popular among the expatriate community, who make up a significant share of enrolments.
The school operates in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030, combining theory, simulation, and practical training to produce safe, confident drivers nationwide.
Full range of licensing and training services
For applicants who already hold a foreign driving licence or have prior driving experience. A short assessment determines if you need additional lessons before the practical test.
A complete training programme for first-time drivers — typically around 30 hours covering theory, simulator practice, and on-road driving lessons with a certified instructor.
The 35-question theory exam (22 to pass, 30 minutes) is conducted at Dallah branches in Arabic, English, Urdu, and Hindi — the test our practice questions are based on.
After completing training and passing the theory test, candidates take a practical road test assessed by a certified Dallah instructor.
In addition to private car licences, Dallah offers training and licensing for heavy vehicles and public transport licences (minimum age 20–21 years).
With 200+ instructors from various nationalities, courses and materials are available in multiple languages — particularly helpful for expat communities.
