When you are visiting a country which is not yours and you have gone there to meet someone, looking for job, religious obligations or may be for just a holiday. It’s very important to have some useful apps on your mobile phone to keep you updated with their map, language, culture, etiquettes so that you don’t find yourself out of place. i have gathered some interesting Arabic apps for iPhone, highly useful for people who are visiting Middle East countries such as Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai etc.

Smart phones now come with GPS devices for better navigation, however, most require a GPRS connection to download maps. This at times is not only slow but also costs money. Thankfully, other options exist using which one can download maps to his/her mobile device from the Internet for offline viewing. What this means is, you won’t have to pay for network charges at all!
