Do you know if the RTA will allow me to have a temporary licence so that I can drive my own car until I get the resident's visa?
Yes, you can get a temp license issued for three months. You will need anywhere from 3-8 colour passport photos and your UK License, go to Dubai Police on Shaikh Zayed Road (southeast side) just beyond MOE as you are Dubai bound.
