YES. Just need to convert your UK driving licence to the RTA office (licence dpt). One besides Gold & Diamond parc (Mall of Emirates), one in Al Nahda road (terminal 2), police HQ.

Bring a couple of pictures, your ID, your eye testing in any optician in UAE, a NOC letter (if you're having a work permit here), 400 AED and your UK driving licence.

Alternatively, you can apply to the UK consulate to an international driving licence.
