The Headwater Navigation App is easy-to-use and provides our customers with route directions, mapping and day by day guides on the areas you’ll be walking or cycling through, removing all the fuss that comes with carrying a conventional map. Once your booking is confirmed and before your holiday begins, we’ll provide you with a unique code to access the app so all the routes and information can be downloaded to your smart device in advance (Wi-Fi / broadband required for download). There is no need for an internet connection or data usage along the way - the app will track your position along the route via GPS and tell you if you have taken a wrong turn, meaning you’ll never get lost. Not all of Headwater’s holidays are currently on this app.
Ask Sinai

Ask Sinai is your transportation companion across Egypt's Sinai peninsula — from Dahab's laid-back diving town to Sharm El Sheikh's Red Sea resorts, with more of the region on the way. Whether you're looking for a car or booking a boat, Ask Sinai gets you moving across Sinai — one platform for land and coastal transportation, wherever your trip takes you: Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, and the towns and coastline between them. Sinai isn't like anywhere else — desert mountains meeting the Red Sea, coastal towns like Dahab and Sharm El Sheikh, and a way of life shaped by the people who've always called it home. Ask Sinai is built around that: local drivers and captains who actually know these roads and these waters, not a generic ride app dropped into a place it doesn't understand. GETTING AROUND SINAI - Two ways to travel — book a car for desert and inland routes, or a boat along the Dahab and Sharm El Sheikh coastline, all from one app - Local drivers and captains — every driver is based in the region, not routed in from somewhere else - Verified, not just listed — every driver's ID, license, and vehicle are personally reviewed before they can accept a single trip - You choose the price — post your trip, compare offers from nearby drivers, and pick the one that works for you - Live tracking — watch your driver's location in real time from pickup to drop-off - Cash payment — no card required, pay your driver directly - Arabic & English — use the app in whichever language you're comfortable with DAHAB, SHARM EL SHEIKH & SINAI EXPERIENCES Getting to the Blue Hole for a dive, out along the coast by boat, or between towns by car — Ask Sinai is built for how people actually move around the region, whether you're based in Dahab, staying in Sharm El Sheikh, or passing through on the way to somewhere else in Sinai. SAFETY, BUILT IN Every driver goes through document verification before they're approved. During any trip, an SOS button is always available — sharing your location and connecting you directly to emergency services if you ever need it. FOR DRIVERS AND CAPTAINS Sign up to reach travelers across your area — Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, and anywhere else in Sinai you drive or sail. Verify your phone number, upload your documents, and once approved, go online to start receiving nearby trip requests — you set your own prices on every trip you take. JUST GETTING STARTED Transportation is where Ask Sinai begins, not where it ends. We're building this alongside the people who live and work across Sinai, and there's more experiences and destinations on the way.
