Rahhal is a map for trips beyond the signal: desert drives, camping, off-roading, wadis and mountains in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Download the map before you leave, save every place, record the trip and replay it in 3D. In Arabic and English. Offline Maps: - Pick the Rahhal Map Engine, download any region, then browse, search and navigate it with no signal at all. - Or use the Apple Map Engine online, with satellite and 3D views; switch at any time. Map And Navigation: - Standard, satellite, hybrid and terrain styles. - Tap any place to navigate, open it in another map app, save or share it. - Navigation is a straight line with live direction and distance; off-road there are no turns. Paste Any Location: - Paste a link from Google Maps, Apple Maps, HudHud, Waze and other map apps and Rahhal finds the place. - Or paste coordinates, a Plus Code or a geohash, drop a pin, or use the location in a photo. Coordinates work offline; links need a connection. Your Library: - Places, tracks, collections and favorites in one library with search across it all, notes and photos per place, and Google Maps lists. - Open a place to see its weather and prayer times, or check mobile coverage from stc, Zain and Mobily in Saudi Arabia. - Point the camera and your saved places appear over the real view with distance and direction, and so does the Qibla. Trip Recording: - One tap starts recording; it keeps going in the background, pauses and resumes, and picks up where it stopped if the app closes or the phone restarts. - Stopping saves distance, elevation, speed, charts and every point. - Follow it on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities. - Import GPX, JSON and .rahhal files; export GPX, KML, CSV, JSON or .rahhal. 3D Track Flyover: - Replay any saved track as a cinematic flight over the real terrain, with speed, distance and elevation playing back live. CarPlay: - Navigate to a saved place, start and stop recording, browse the library and search from the car screen. Siri And Shortcuts: - Start or stop a recording, save where you are, navigate to a saved place or find the Qibla with Siri, Spotlight or the Shortcuts app. Mini-Apps: - A tap from the Yard: the Quran with a choice of reciters, prayer times and Qibla, weather and rain radar, compass, speedometer and 22,000 public places in Saudi Arabia. - Prayer times are computed on your phone and work offline. - Pick one of 16 themes with light and dark colors, or set your own accent and background. Yard And Daily Briefing: - The Yard is your home screen: location, weather, library and mini-apps. - The Daily Briefing sums up the weather, the next prayer and what to wear, written on your phone by Apple Intelligence where supported. Account And Sync: - Sign in with your phone, Apple or Google to sync your library across devices; what you saved before comes along. - Add a username, photo and bio to your profile. It all works offline and syncs when you are back in range. Rahhal+: One membership includes the Rahhal Map Engine, CarPlay, trip statistics, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts, augmented reality, import and export, weather, the Daily Briefing, the coverage checker, custom themes and links from most map apps.
