Hi
You should take your Arabic driving license to ADAC for translations and after that then go to a driving course.
But before make a first aid course!
I don't know how good do you speak German, because the first aid course is in German.

Hello Ayham,

you can apply for a temporary valid license in a German citizen center or town hall (valid 6 months). This can be prolongate for another 6 months.
Then you have to pass a German driving license exam (theory and practice). You don't have to do a special training for that, just register for a driving license exam at a driving school.
