Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has expanded its services yet again—this time with a new driver training and licensing centre in Al Rowaiyah 3, operated by First Driving Centre. The newly launched facility is part of ongoing efforts to improve the accessibility and quality of licensing services across the emirate.
Situated in a growing residential and industrial area of the city, the centre is expected to alleviate the burden on existing facilities and provide faster service for residents in nearby communities, including Ras Al Khor, International City, Silicon Oasis, and Al Warqa.
not Just Convenience
This new location brings the total number of authorised driver training centres in Dubai to 28, indicating how the city continues to keep pace with its population growth and rising demand for personal mobility.
Al Rowaiyah centre now offers full licensing and training services, actively serving residents and businesses in the area. Its convenient location and modern infrastructure will help reduce waiting times and improve the learning experience for new drivers.
Services Available Now
The centre is already operational and offering core services that include:
- Opening a traffic file for new learners
- Theoretical classes and knowledge tests
- Practical driving sessions
- Licensing for light vehicles (manual and automatic)
- Licensing for motorcycles
Soon, the centre will offer heavy vehicle and equipment licensing, boosting support for Dubai’s logistics sector.
Built to Modern Standards
The new facility, developed in partnership with First Driving Centre, features updated training infrastructure and enhanced customer service areas. The building’s layout and services are aligned with Dubai’s push for higher service quality in public infrastructure.
There are dedicated spaces for male and female students, digital interfaces for quicker processing, and multilingual staff to support the city’s diverse population. These small but meaningful upgrades make the process of getting a licence more efficient and less stressful for applicants.
Operating Hours Cater to Busy Schedules
Understanding the varied routines of Dubai residents, the Al Rowaiyah centre operates with extended timings that offer flexibility for students, working professionals, and business owners alike:
- Monday to Thursday: 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Friday: 7:00 AM to 12:30 PM, 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday: 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Sunday: Closed
This accessibility makes it easier for people to fit lessons or tests into their week without disrupting their daily obligations.
Meeting Dubai’s Growing Licensing Needs
With Dubai’s expanding population and continued rise in vehicle ownership, demand for driving licences continues to increase. On average, thousands of residents apply for a new licence each month, be it for personal use, delivery services, or commercial transportation.
RTA’s decision to add this new facility reflects a larger focus on improving service capacity without compromising on quality or road safety standards. By opening more centres like this one, the authority is reducing bottlenecks while maintaining high training standards.
Supporting Road Safety and Service Efficiency
Besides making access easier, the new centre supports Dubai’s goals for enhanced road safety and sustainable urban mobility. Comprehensive driver training, improved theoretical education, and better practical facilities all contribute to preparing responsible, skilled drivers for the roads.
Future upgrades are expected to include integration with digital platforms for smart learning modules, eco-driving awareness, and traffic law education, which is especially important in a city with a fast-paced road network and diverse multicultural driving habits.
Dubai’s transport infrastructure continues to evolve in step with its growth. The Al Rowaiyah driver training and licensing centre is another positive addition for residents and businesses alike. With accessible design, modern amenities, and top-tier service, it shows how public services can meet growing needs while staying efficient and people-centered.
