About CityWays
A route-planning and urban transport site built entirely on open data, published as static pages, with no account and no data collection.
What you will find here
37,540 addresses across 12 cities, sorted into 20 categories: pharmacies, hotels, food shops, restaurants, cafés, takeaways, cars and motorbikes, banks, health, education, transport, sights, public offices, sport and leisure, shops, beauty, business services, property, crafts and construction. Every city has an interactive map and neighbourhood pages; Rabat has a full guide.
Alongside these sit the bus and tram lines mapped in each city.
How it is built
The site is generated in advance: every page is an HTML file served as it stands, with no database and no server-side processing. Maps and search run in the browser. The result is light, fast pages that are easy to index.
What it does not do
No account, no sign-up, no collection form. Listings are neither paid for nor ranked by financial contribution: the order depends on how complete the available information is, and no business can buy its place. The site carries advertising supplied by a third-party network, marked as such and unrelated to how listings are ranked — see the privacy policy.
Known limits
Collaborative data is not exhaustive and can be out of date. Opening hours are often missing, pharmacy rotas are not published as open data, and a closed business can stay listed for months. Ring ahead before setting out.
Correcting a listing
There is no form here, and that is not an oversight: the listings mirror OpenStreetMap, so corrections belong at the source, where they benefit everyone rather than this site alone. Find the venue on openstreetmap.org, then change the address, phone number or hours — a free account is enough and the change is public within minutes.
The correction reaches this site at the next extraction. For a venue missing from OpenStreetMap the route is the same: add it on openstreetmap.org, and it will appear in the matching category.
For anything that is not a data problem — a broken page, an odd classification, a badly named category — write to contact@cityinfo.ae.
