Must-have app for offroaders in UAE and anyone wanting to become one! 150+ PLACES, SORTED BY HOW HARD THEY ARE: Discover the best places in UAE to go offraoding, overlanding, camping, hiking and much more! STUCK IN SAND? OPEN SOS: It shows you how to self-recoverβ€” If that doesn't work, one tap reaches a rescue team by phone, WhatsApp or Telegram. OFFLINE MAPS Download the area before you go and the map stays on your phone. No signal, no data, no roaming β€” the map still shows where you are and where you've been. DRIVE WITH PEOPLE, NOT ALONE Start a convoy and everyone in it sees each other on the map, live. If somebody drops behind, you know before it becomes a problem. LEARN THE THINGS NOBODY TELLS YOU Short, plain articles on the stuff that actually matters: what pressure to run and why, how to read sand, what to carry, how to get pulled out without breaking anything. RECORD YOUR DRIVES Your route, distance and top speed, saved and shareable. Simple. FREE TO USE The map, the spots, the SOS screen and the articles are free. Pro adds more offline regions and is there if you want it. WHERE IT WORKS United Arab Emirates and Oman. Soon Saudi Arabia. A HONEST WORD ABOUT SAFETY OffroadPal is a map and a set of tools. It is not a rescue service and it is not a substitute for one. If anyone's life or health is at risk, call 999 immediately. The people who may come to help are volunteers β€” nobody is on duty and nobody is obliged to come.
