Answer 1

IT"S POSSIBLE THE ISSUANCE OF TEMPORARY DRIVING LICENSES IN DUBAI HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. UNCONFIRMED REPORTS SURFACED IN DEC. 2006. UNKNOWN IF CORRECT OR FOR HOW LONG!

A temporary driving license is issued if you want to drive a private car in Dubai but don't have a residency visa to be able to obtain a full UAE driving license eg. visitors on visit visas, expats waiting for residence visa processing. You obtain it from the police station and it's valid for 6 months.

Bring:
Your home country passport, driving license and copies, copy of whatever visa you have for the UAE (or passport if it's stamped, or e-gate card if not)
Intl. Driving permit from the same country as your license (if you don't have one, try and obtain a temporary license anyway, unknown how essential this is)

Note that if you want to drive a rental car, you don't need to apply for a temporary license. Just go to the rental car agency with your home country driving license.

Answer 2

Temporary driving license means the license issuing for visit visa holders in Dubai. If you are in Dubai on a residence visa then you can apply for the driving (permanent) license at Dubai Traffic Dept.

I hope the above will clarify your doubts.

Cheers.
