Jeddah – A Finnish lady has become the first European woman to obtain the Saudi driving licence.
The traffic directorate in Riyadh issued Saudi licence to “Laura Al-Alho”, in replacement of her Finnish one.
Laura first came to Saudi Arabia ten years ago to work as a nurse on a temporary basis. She then opted for permanent residence and married a Saudi national.
She posted her photos after obtaining the driving licence on her Twitter account and the “Blue Abaya – Discovering Saudi Arabia Through Nordic Eyes” blog she runs on the internet.
