Saudi Arabia is one of the most digitised countries in the world. From government portals to grocery delivery, property search to pet care — here are the apps that make daily life seamless for expats and residents.
Download these before anything else. Saudi Arabia runs on digital government — these apps gate your Iqama, visa, employment, health and city services.
The master key to Saudi government services. Manage your Iqama, process family and exit visas, pay traffic fines, update personal data, and authorise employer transfers — all in one place.
Ministry of Human Resources platform for all employment matters. Verify your contract, apply for freelance permits, submit job transfer requests, and check your labour rights and entitlements.
Book appointments at government health centres, access your full health records, review vaccination history, and register for or update health insurance. Linked to your Absher account.
Originally launched as the COVID health-status app, Tawakkalna is now a comprehensive digital identity platform. It holds your vaccination certificates, health status, and serves as a verified digital ID accepted at venues and events across Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's national digital identity authentication system. Nafath generates one-time passwords to verify your identity across all government platforms — acting as the two-factor authentication layer for your entire digital identity.
Riyadh municipality's (Amanah Riyadh) official service app. Pay municipality fees, report infrastructure issues, apply for construction permits, and access a wide range of city services from your phone without visiting a government office. Note: this is a Saudi app — not to be confused with the UAE's Abu Dhabi "Tamm" government portal, which is a separate, unrelated platform.
The Saudi Traffic Department's official app. Check and pay Saher speed camera fines, renew your vehicle registration (Istimara), track driving licence status, and manage all vehicle-related government requirements.
Saudi Post's official app. Track incoming parcels, manage your National Address (the official registered address linked to your Iqama), and schedule home deliveries. Your National Address is a legal requirement for banking and many government processes.
Utility and infrastructure apps every resident needs — from renting a property legally to paying your electricity bill and riding the metro.
The official app for Riyadh's metro and public bus network. Plan journeys across all 6 metro lines, buy and store digital tickets, top up your Naqd transit card, and view live departure times. Covers intercity bus routes too. Note: "Naqd" here refers to the Riyadh Metro transit smartcard — not the BNPL/digital lending platform of the same name.
Saudi Arabia's official rental contract platform, operated by the Real Estate General Authority (REGA). All legitimate tenancy agreements in Saudi Arabia must be registered on Ejar — it protects both tenant and landlord and is required to transfer utility accounts into your name.
The Saudi Electricity Company's (SEC) official app. Pay your electricity bill, monitor monthly consumption, report outages, submit meter readings, and manage multiple properties under one account. Covers the majority of the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia's retail market has significant price variance across stores. These tools help you find the best deal before you buy — from supermarket promotions to electronics price tracking.
Aggregates weekly supermarket and hypermarket promotional flyers from Panda, Lulu, Carrefour, Tamimi and others in one place. Browse upcoming deals before you shop, create a shopping list, and never miss a weekly sale.
Deals4Days — a Saudi discount aggregator pulling promotional codes, cashback offers, and limited-time deals from a wide range of online and in-store retailers. Covers fashion, food, electronics, and services.
A price comparison engine covering electronics, appliances, mobile phones and accessories across Saudi Arabia's main online retailers including Noon, Amazon.sa, Jarir and others. Shows price history and current lowest price.
Amazon price tracking tool for Saudi Arabia (and UAE). Set a target price on any Amazon.sa product, and Kanbkam alerts you when it drops. Displays full price history charts so you can time purchases for genuine deals rather than manufactured discounts.
Saudi-focused comparison shopping platform covering a broader range of product categories than Pricena, including home goods, furniture, and clothing. Aggregates pricing from both large retailers and smaller Saudi-based online stores.

Buying or selling a car in Saudi Arabia? These three platforms cover certified pre-owned, dealer-direct, and private listings — from inspected vehicles with financing to direct peer-to-peer classifieds.
A fully inspected, certified used-car marketplace. Every vehicle on CarSwitch goes through a multi-point inspection and carries a detailed condition report. Offers in-house financing, trade-in valuations, and home delivery of your purchase.

Saudi Arabia's e-commerce market is one of the fastest-growing in the Middle East. These three platforms offer the widest selection, fastest delivery, and most reliable service for residents.

The French retail giant's Saudi operation, one of the most popular hypermarkets in the Kingdom. The app provides grocery ordering, the My Club loyalty programme (points on every purchase), exclusive app promotions, and scheduled home delivery slots across Saudi cities.
Hiring household staff in Saudi Arabia is a formal, government-regulated process. These are the legally approved platforms for recruitment, visa processing, and household staffing — using unlicensed channels carries significant legal risk.
The official Saudi government platform for domestic worker recruitment and management, operated under the Ministry of Human Resources. Musaned handles visa requests, work contracts, salary protection, and complaint resolution. It is the legally mandated route for hiring household workers in Saudi Arabia.

Absher, Qiwa, Muqeem, GOSI, and SPL are powerful tools — once they're active. Getting them activated simultaneously, in the correct sequence, across Arabic-language portals with hard interdependencies is where self-service breaks down for senior executives. A single registration error in Muqeem delays your Iqama. A missed GOSI enrollment freezes your Qiwa work permit. For corporate relocators, that's not a learning experience — it's a business disruption.
Secure Premium, White-Glove Onboarding & Full Government Portal Activation →Register your Saudi SIM on the day you arrive. Then activate Absher with your Iqama number and mobile number. Once Absher is live, set up Nafath for authentication, then Sehhaty, Qiwa, and SPL. Within your first week you will have full access to the Saudi government digital ecosystem.
