Question 1

What is Milahat?

Accepted Answer

Milahat (ملّاحـات) is the first AI-powered mapping and navigation platform built specifically for the GCC region. The name derives from the Arabic word Milāḥa, meaning navigation — evoking the Gulf's centuries-old seafaring heritage. Milahat unites land routes, desert tracks, and Red Sea shipping lanes into one real-time intelligence canvas covering Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.

Question 2

How is Milahat different from Google Maps or Apple Maps?

Accepted Answer

Unlike global mapping platforms, Milahat is purpose-built for the GCC. It integrates prayer-time routing and Qibla direction, tracks Saudi Vision 2030 megaprojects like Qiddiya and Diriyah Gate in real time, provides AI-driven marine intelligence for the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, and offers deep cultural context including Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage guidance, crowd-level awareness, and halal service discovery.

Question 3

Which countries does Milahat cover?

Accepted Answer

Milahat covers all six GCC member states: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. Coverage includes urban networks, intercity highways, desert terrain, and the Red Sea and Persian Gulf maritime zones.

Question 4

What is the Milahat Marine Intelligence Platform?

Accepted Answer

The Marine Intelligence Platform provides AI-powered navigation tools for the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. Features include centimeter-accurate LIDAR bathymetric mapping, real-time vessel tracking for over 2,400 ships, 14-day tidal predictions, port intelligence covering 25+ GCC ports, and environmental monitoring of coral reefs and marine protected areas.

Question 5

How does Milahat support Saudi Vision 2030 megaprojects?

Accepted Answer

Milahat provides a real-time intelligence dashboard for Vision 2030 megaprojects including Qiddiya City, Diriyah Gate, Sindalah Island, and NEOM. The platform tracks construction milestones, workforce logistics, environmental compliance, supply-chain risk, and upcoming tenders — giving executives and on-site teams a single live cockpit view.

Question 6

Does Milahat offer cultural and religious navigation features?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Milahat integrates prayer-time scheduling into route planning, provides Qibla direction, identifies nearby mosques and prayer rooms, and includes specialised Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage route guidance with real-time crowd-level updates at the Haram. Routes also highlight halal dining, cultural heritage sites, and traditional souqs.

Question 7

Who can use Milahat?

Accepted Answer

Milahat serves a wide range of users: GCC residents for daily navigation, tourists exploring the region, pilgrims heading to Makkah and Madinah, logistics and fleet operators, construction firms working on megaprojects, maritime operators navigating the Red Sea and Gulf, government agencies, and businesses requiring geospatial intelligence.

Question 8

Does Milahat provide environmental and sustainability monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Milahat tracks coral reef health, marine biodiversity, and seagrass restoration across Red Sea and Gulf waters. The platform monitors renewable-energy adoption at megaproject sites, carbon-reduction progress, and environmental compliance. It currently supports 12 active marine restoration projects and has helped map over 156 square kilometres of restored seagrass.
