Ooredoo launches an easy, useful desert navigation app
All the desert camping and dune bashing buffs, here is a piece of news just for you.
Ooredoo has launched an Inland Sea application to help people navigate easily through the desert dunes to safe spots and tourist attractions.
QNA further reports that the application, which is the first ever Qatar desert navigation app, will provide users with important information such as geography and terrain, camping sites, emergency numbers and Supernet signal towers, so that desert visitors can stay connected.
Most importantly the application will offer user's satellite navigation through the desert to the Inland Sea using Ooredoo's Supernet, offering peace of mind for families and friends visiting the area.
To ensure families stay safe in the desert, the Ooredoo Inland Sea App also has a direct contact button to "Fazat Mawater" - a team of trained professional desert drivers, who volunteer to rescue people from the desert in situations such as marooned cars, trapped wheels or being lost.

Now the application not available in playstore. Is there any alternative to download?
the app map shows two routes. the east route doesn't seem to be properly done; the tracks have sharp cuts and shows weird routes which is confusing. the west route goes through some rocky roads which are bad for the car and could be avoided by input from professional drivers. I believe the app has much to develop from this starting point onwards. thanks for such a great app especially for its other unbeatable features.
I got stuck in the desert and Fazat Mawater rescued me. I can honestly say (aside from being stuck in a potentially life threatening position) it was the most positive experience I've had in Qatar. Abdulla (Fazat Mawater member) was professional, humble and friendly. He refused outright to take any type of payment for his services; the only thing he asked was for me to follow Fazat Mawater on Instagram. So for anyone reading this, I will ask for you to do the same, please support them by following: FAZAT_MAWATER on Instagram. What an incredible thing they are doing.
This "Fazat Mawater" do they charge you anything if you are stuck and call them for help?
