Find out if a Kenyan driving licence can be converted to a Bahraini licence without a test, and if an international licence is necessary.

Hi all,

Can anyone please shed some light on whether a Kenyan driving licence can be converted to a Bahraini licence without the need for a test? If so would i need an international licence done in Kenya before the licence can be exchanged?
Thanks in advance.

From Google:

Looks like Kenya is able to, but an International License will get you around for a year if you want to be all set when you arrive.

To switch your license is a quick trip to Traffic and a payment, eye test and you pick up your card right there.聽 I think I was done in 30-40 minutes when I switched mine.
