We have recently added Middle East mapping to our satellite navigation hire range. The Middle East is becoming a far more popular place for tourists with Dubai leading the way with spectacular hotels, buildings, shops, beaches and golf courses. The mapping includes United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. With sun all year round it is the ideal place to visit during our winter months.

TomTom state that the coverage is as follows, street network coverage Bahrain 99%, Kuwait 99%, Qatar 99%, Oman 80%, Saudi Arabia 82%, UAE 99%. There are 183,620 Kms of roads covered through the entire region with 90,794 points of interest. House number coverage in Kuwait is 99% and in UAE is 36%. As well as being able to navigate from house to house you can also travel from country to country across border.

Although driving laws in Dubai are very similar to many other countries with so many people driving high powered cars on highways with up to 10 lanes accidents are inevitable and the statistics show Dubai to have one of the highest road death rates in the world. A few years ago traffic was unheard of in Dubai, but now growth has overtaken the development of the road network so at peak times there are jams that would not be out of place in London.

The TomTom device we will be supplying for hire in the Middle East will contain seamless mapping for the whole area. Prices for Sat Nav Hire Middle East start from £31.02 for the first week and just £63.33 for one month.
