About Doroobi

Doroobi (دروبي) is a free navigation app for drivers in the UAE, made in the UAE. It shows live traffic shared by the drivers around you and guides you turn by turn, in Arabic or English.

Drivers helping drivers

Doroobi’s live traffic comes from Doroobi drivers. The app combines anonymous speeds from drivers on the road with the reports they send: jams, roadwork, crashes and closed or flooded roads. Drivers behind confirm a report, and false reports fade away. Doroobi is drivers helping drivers, on every street, every minute.

Made for the roads of the UAE

Doroobi tells you plainly whether the Salik toll is worth paying today, warns you at every red-light camera and at a speed camera when you are over the limit, routes you around flooded roads after the rain, and shows up to three routes with the best time to leave. Spoken turns, alerts and speed warnings come in Arabic or English, and search understands Arabic place names.

Free, with no ads

Doroobi is free, with no ads and no ad tracking, and it does not sell data. You can drive without an account: Doroobi works without your name, number or email, and your saved places stay on your phone. An account is optional, for things like trip history and family sharing.

The Doroobi Map and the 3D Studio

The Doroobi Map is Doroobi’s own map of the Arab world, from Morocco to Oman, with Arabic place names, built on OpenStreetMap and other open data. In the 3D Studio, anyone can design buildings for the map; the Doroobi team approves every design before it shows.

For businesses and cities

A Doroobi business account adds a fleet page: your vehicles live on the map while drivers are on shift, after the drivers accept it in the app. Cities, road authorities, fleets and brands can write to the Doroobi team to work together.

Who makes Doroobi

Doroobi is made by ITD Innovation Information Technology L.L.C., a technology company in the United Arab Emirates. Doroobi’s servers are in the UAE.
