Other than the COVID-19 related features, the app will also act like a typical travel and tourism app and list all the fun activities, travel tours, events, restaurants, sightseeing spots, cafes, and bars around the city. There will be additional information about each venue so that tourists can travel freely with increased safety. 

The app will be powered by Augmented Reality (AR), helping tourists navigate through Dubai city without any hassle. This means that the users can utilise its 360-degree rotate feature to explore hidden and unexplored spots around them. The app uses AR to display the distance, latitude and altitude of any given location. Tourists will be able to download this app once they are in Dubai, and few days, it will be available in the rest of the UAE.
