AMMAN — Ride-hailing app Careem on Wednesday announced its integration with Google Maps services, according to a company statement.

Currently on Android and iOS to users in the UAE, the service will be rolled out in Jordan and across the region in the coming weeks in an aim to provide a faster ride-hailing experience for users. “As the go-to app for directions and navigation, Google Maps is an extremely popular service, and integrating Careem within the app means users can now take advantage of the benefits of both apps simultaneously... offering them a service that will save time and effort, and maximise their convenience,” Wael Nafee, VP of Product at Careem, was quoted in the statement as saying.
