NSR is your guide to Saudi Arabia, made for Saudi, not translated onto it. Saudi: the Kingdom's thirteen regions, each with its symbol and its own page of places and stories. The emergency numbers are one tap away at the top. Discover: places in your city and across the Kingdom, a page at a time: For you, Around you, and the Stories of places retold by NSR. One search for everything. NSR: a guide you can talk to. Ask about any place in Saudi Arabia and get answers from NSR's information, with its sources behind ⓘ. When it doesn't know, it says so and points you to the official source. And a person from the NSR team on WhatsApp whenever you need one. Souq: experiences ready to book, and active offers when there are some, each with its end date. Booking and payment happen on the partner's page. Account: your NSR passport: what you saved, your outings on the map of the Kingdom ready for directions in Apple Maps with one tap, your city and your language, all on your phone. Sources and rights: the ⓘ beside a place's name and on its photo opens its sources: the photographer and license of the photo, where the text and the story come from, every data source and its license, and whether a person has reviewed the record. The Content rights page in Account lists them all: Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, the Saudi Tourism Authority and Saudipedia. Your privacy: no sign-in, no tracking, no targeted ads, and we never ask for your location. You choose your city, your saves never leave your phone, and NSR does not keep your conversations with the guide. In Arabic and English, follows your text size, and works with VoiceOver and Reduce Motion.
