Hello !

I don't think that you can use your American license here , i think you will have to acquire an Egyptian license first , then you will have to get an international driving license afterwords from the car club here in Egypt .

you can wait for other members聽 here who already done this process to confirm because i am not sure , or you can contact the Car Club your self and see if there is anything you need to do .

聽聽

Best of luck
