Furniture moving company in Abha: the answer in a few lines

Moving within Abha and to Khamis Mushait and the region

Abha and Khamis Mushait are neighbouring cities, and many people work in one and live in the other. A move between them is therefore the most requested job after a move between the districts of Abha itself. The road linking them is a fast dual carriageway, with the airport and the university city along it, and a loaded truck covers it in under an hour.

Around the two cities lie governorates and centres whose residents ask for moves as well: an employee transferring to An-Namas, a teacher returning from Sarat Abidah, a family furnishing a summer house in As-Soudah. The distances below are approximate from central Abha, and the road time is for a loaded truck driven gently.

Destination	Approximate distance from Abha	Road	Delivery
Khamis Mushait	About 30 km	Fast dual carriageway eastwards	Same day
Ahad Rafidah	About 45 km	Via Khamis Mushait	Same day
As-Soudah	About 25 km	A mountain climb with bends	Same day
Rijal Almaa	About 45 km	Down a pass from the As-Soudah side	Same day, in a vehicle suited to the pass
Muhayil Asir	About 80 km	Sha’ar pass	Same day
Sarat Abidah	About 90 km	South-east via Ahad Rafidah	Same day
Tanomah and An-Namas	About 125–150 km	The Sarat road northwards	Same day

Why hire a company instead of moving it yourself?

Many people ask this before they call: I have a car and brothers, so why pay? The answer lies in what usually gets damaged. A wardrobe carried without being dismantled breaks its hinges at the first turn of the stairs. A table riding in an open pickup with no lashing slides on the first descent. A mattress dragged along the ground arrives dirty. Losses like these cost more than the mover’s fee in most cases.

That does not mean every item needs a crew. Cartons of clothes and light kitchen things can go in your own car, leaving the crew what must be dismantled, what is heavy and what can break. The table helps you divide the work.

Task	If you do it yourself	With a moving crew
Dismantling wardrobes and beds	Screws go missing and panels lose their place	Numbered panels and a bag of screws for each piece
Carrying the fridge and washing machine	Risk to your back, the appliance and the stairs	A trolley, carrying straps and a ramp into the truck
The road	An open pickup and a rope	A closed truck and straps on both walls
Rain and fog	Wet furniture	Plastic over the pieces and a roofed body
Assembly	Hunting for a carpenter after the move	Assembled the same day

The survey before the price: photos, a clip or a visit

We do not give a figure before seeing the furniture. It is enough to walk through the house with your phone, film a clip that passes through every room, open the wardrobe and kitchen doors, and send it with the location of the present home and the new one. From the clip we learn the number of pieces and which need dismantling, and we estimate the cartons and the size of truck. Then we ask what the camera does not show: the floor number, whether the building has a lift, and whether a truck can enter your street.

A visit is arranged for large houses and for unusual pieces: a wall-to-wall bookcase, a steel safe, or a meeting table that will not pass through the door. After that you receive one price with what it covers. If pieces that were not in the clip appear on moving day, they are priced in front of you before they are lifted into the truck.

What the service includes and what is requested by name

A move normally covers dismantling, packing, loading, unloading and assembly. But every home has jobs that are not taken for granted, such as removing an air conditioner, lifting a piece from a balcony or drilling a wall for a screen. These are requested by name and written into the booking confirmation, so that nobody argues about them at the door.

Job	Within the move	Requested by name
Dismantling and assembling bedrooms, desks and tables	Yes	—
Packing timber, glass and appliances	Yes, to the level agreed	Wooden crates for ornaments and marble
Cartons of clothes, books and kitchenware	Loaded if they are ready	Filled by the crew
Air conditioners	—	Removal and fitting by a cooling technician
Fitted kitchen	—	Dismantling and fitting to the new kitchen’s size
Lifting from a balcony or window	—	After the façade has been inspected
Hanging screens and curtains and drilling walls	—	The number is fixed beforehand

Packing furniture and wooden pieces in the homes of Abha

Timber is the most plentiful thing in a home and the easiest to scratch: wardrobes, beds, dining tables, desks, and majlis seating with carved ends. A scratch usually happens at one of two moments, when the piece passes through a doorway and when it rubs against another piece inside the truck. So we start with the points that stick out. Legs, corners and edges are fitted with pieces of corrugated cardboard cut to size, which take the knock instead of the wood.

The whole piece is then wrapped in a thick moving blanket. A blanket absorbs rubbing and does not trap moisture against the finish the way plastic film alone does, which matters in a city with frequent fog. The tape is pulled tight over the cloth, so no adhesive touches a polished surface. Dismantled panels are paired face to face with a blanket between them and carried standing on edge, not laid flat.

Piece	Where it usually gets hit	Packing
Wardrobe	Panel corners and door hinges	Taken down to panels, a blanket between each pair, corrugated cardboard on the corners
Bed	The headboard and legs	A full blanket for the headboard and cardboard caps for the legs
Dining table	The edge of the top and the legs	A strip of corrugated cardboard round the edge, then a blanket
Desk	The drawers and their runners	Drawers taken out and tied, the frame wrapped separately
Dressing table and mirror	The glass and frame	Foam over the glass, cardboard corners, carried upright
Majlis seating and sofas	Wooden ends and fabric	A plastic cover for the fabric and a blanket over exposed wood
Doors and wooden panelling	The painted face	A blanket, and face to face

Many Abha customers ask what they can get done ahead of the crew; the answer is in the article on packing furniture for a move; the packing guide lists the materials worth buying.

A number and an inventory line for every piece

Packing protects the piece; numbering protects the whole move. Before any piece leaves its room, a label goes on it with a number and the name of the room it is going to in the new home. The number is written on the inventory with a short description: “12 – master bedroom – right wardrobe door”. Cartons are treated the same way, with a word about their contents.

The list has three practical uses. At unloading you count the numbers and know that nothing has stayed in the truck. At assembly the fitter knows which panel faces which, and finds his screws in a bag carrying the same number. And if a piece has an old scratch, it is noted against its number before loading, so the move is not blamed for what it did not cause. You keep a copy of the list signed by the supervisor.

Loading furniture in the hillside districts of Abha

Abha is built on hills, and in many districts a level street is the exception. One house stands at the top of a rise, another at the bottom of a dip, and a third is reached by a lane narrower than the truck. Carrying a heavy piece on sloping ground is not like carrying it on the flat. The weight leans downhill, and the worker on the lower side bears more than his share.

So we settle the parking before we open the truck door. The truck is stopped with its front facing up the slope wherever possible, and the wheels are chocked. Then the loading ramp is run from the edge of the body to the ground, and the fridge, the safe and the washing machine go up on a wheeled trolley instead of being lifted by hand. Each row loaded is strapped to the wall of the body before the next row goes in, so lashing does not wait until the truck is full.

The body is closed on all sides and clean inside, and its floor is lined before loading. The furniture does not ride on the leftovers of a previous load, and the afternoon rain that surprises the city in summer does not reach it.

Situation outside the house	Risk	What we do
A sloping street that takes the truck	The truck moving and pieces sliding towards the door	Wheel chocks, front uphill, every row strapped
A sharp rise before the house	A loaded truck cannot climb it safely	Parking below the rise and shuttling with a smaller vehicle
A narrow lane or outside steps to the door	No vehicle reaches the door	Hand carrying with enough workers and carrying straps
A heavy piece	Raising it to the level of the body	Loading ramp and trolley
Rain or thick fog	Wet timber and fabric, and slippery footing	Plastic over the pieces, and a short delay if needed
A crowded street in the summer season	No parking near the door	Loading first thing in the morning

Stairs, lifts and lifting from the façade

Most homes in Abha are villas, single floors and low-rise blocks, so the staircase is the usual route for furniture. The turn of the stairs, not their length, decides whether a piece gets through. That is why the wardrobe, the bed and the large desk are dismantled before going down, and a long panel is carried upright and turned by two workers at each landing. Wall corners at the turns are covered with cardboard when the paint is new.

What will not pass the stairs and cannot be dismantled, such as a one-piece sofa or a wide fridge, is lowered from the balcony or window by a hoist. That is not decided on moving day. The façade is inspected first: can the crane stand on level ground beneath it, how far away are the power lines, and is the opening wide enough. On sloping ground this inspection matters even more.

Which vehicle suits your house in Abha?

The vehicle is chosen from two things together: the volume of furniture and the shape of the street. A large truck cuts the number of trips but does not enter every district, and a small vehicle goes anywhere but needs more than one run. We decide after the survey and state it in the confirmation.

Vehicle	What it roughly carries	When we choose it
Small closed vehicle	A room or a handful of pieces	A student, a purchased piece, a narrow street or a sharp rise
Medium closed truck	A flat of two to three rooms	Most moves inside Abha and to Khamis Mushait
Large closed truck	A whole floor or a villa	A wide street, or a move between cities
Small vehicle with a truck waiting	Any volume	A house the large truck cannot reach

Delivering furniture and assembling desks and rooms in the districts of Abha

At the new house the second half of the job begins. The pieces come off by number, and each number goes straight to its room. Assembly then starts with what the house cannot be lived in without: beds first, then wardrobes, then desks. A desk has its drawers returned to their runners and tried one by one, and a study desk with upper shelves is fixed to the wall if it was designed that way. A bedroom has its wardrobe built and its doors balanced until they close with no gap.

The service covers every district of the city. Al-Mansak, Al-Khalidiyah and Shamasan are among those that ask for moves most, together with Al-Muftaha in the heart of the city, Al-Muwazzafin and Al-Mahalah. We also reach Ad-Dabab, As-Sadd, Ar-Rabwah, Al-Muruj, Al-Aziziyah, Al-Wardatain, Al-Khasha, Al-Qabil and An-Nasb. The table notes what we ask about in each group before sending the truck.

Districts	Character	What we ask before the move
Al-Mansak	A large residential district of villas and blocks	The floor, and whether the street outside is level or sloping
Al-Khalidiyah	Family flats and many apartment blocks	The lift and truck parking outside the building
Shamasan	A relatively old district near the fort it is named after	The width of the street, and whether a smaller vehicle is needed
Al-Muftaha	The city centre, busy with visitors in season	The loading hour; early morning is best
Al-Muwazzafin	A residential district where tenants change often	The date the old flat is handed back and the new one received
Al-Mahalah	On the edge of the city, houses and new plots	The exact location and the state of the side road to the house
Ad-Dabab, As-Sadd, Ar-Rabwah, Al-Muruj, Al-Aziziyah	Residential districts of varying gradient	A photo of the street and the entrance

Furniture moving in Khamis Mushait

Khamis Mushait has more residents than Abha and gentler ground in most of its districts, and its commercial streets are busier. The truck reaches the door in most cases, and the challenge there is parking and the hour of traffic, not the climb. We serve its districts, such as Umm Sarar, Atud, Ash-Sharafiyah, Al-Wahah, An-Nakheel, Ash-Shifa and Ar-Raqi, in the same way and at the same starting prices as a move inside the city.

The city is home to a large number of military and government personnel who are posted in and out every year. They usually need an inter-city move on a fixed date, so we advise them to book as soon as the transfer order is issued. A move from a district in Abha to a district in Khamis Mushait, or the other way round, is completed the same day.

Furniture moving prices in Abha

The figures below are the lowest each category starts at inside the city, and they rise with what the inventory shows. No item is added on moving day that was not in the booking confirmation unless you ask for it yourself.

Move	Price starts from	What it buys
A room or a handful of pieces	SAR 460	A small closed vehicle and two workers
A flat of two to three rooms	SAR 550	A closed truck with basic dismantling and assembly
A spacious flat or a whole floor	SAR 920	A larger crew and a larger truck
A flat of four to five rooms with full packing	SAR 1,380	Blankets, cardboard and a number for every piece
Villa	SAR 2,150	More than one trip, or two trucks
Dismantling and assembling a bedroom, no transport	SAR 275	A fitter and his tools
Dismantling a kitchen	SAR 640	Fitting is priced by the new kitchen
As-Soudah, Rijal Almaa and the Asir governorates, inter-city moves, and crane lifting	Set on request	By road, distance and survey

Prices quoted in the market: we looked for published prices for Abha and Khamis Mushait and found no company figure that can be relied on. Company pages settle for phrases such as “suitable prices” or “30% off” without stating the base. The numbers that do appear are individuals’ classified adverts for a trip by a box pickup, and across Saudi cities they run from about SAR 100 to SAR 400 a trip. That is the hire of a vehicle and driver only, with no dismantling, packing, assembly or responsibility for the pieces. So when you compare, compare what the offer covers before its number.

What changes the price	Why
Volume of furniture	It sets the truck, the number of workers and the hours
Gradient and width of the street	A small vehicle making several runs lengthens the day
Floor and stairs	Each floor without a lift adds effort and time
Pieces to dismantle	Large desks, wardrobes, the kitchen and air conditioners
Level of packing	Wrapping every piece uses more material and hours
Distance	Khamis Mushait, As-Soudah and Ahad Rafidah are further than the next district
Season	Summer is peak demand in Abha

You can bring the cost down without giving up the safety of your furniture:

• Move before summer begins or after it ends, if the date is yours to choose.
• Sell or give away what will not enter the new home before we take the inventory.
• Fill sealed cartons with clothes, books and toys before we arrive.
• Ask your neighbour to leave the space outside the house free on moving morning.
• Put transport, dismantling and assembly in one order instead of three parties.

How long does a furniture move take in Abha?

The drive between two districts of Abha takes minutes, so most of the day goes on dismantling, packing and then assembly. We start at first light for two reasons: the streets are quieter, and in their seasons fog and rain tend to come late in the day. The times below are for a home on a low floor and a street the truck can enter.

Move	Usual time	What adds to it
A room or a handful of pieces	2–3 hours	A long staircase or a lane no vehicle enters
A flat of two to three rooms	4–6 hours	Many wardrobes and desks
A whole floor	A working day	A kitchen and air conditioners to dismantle
Villa	One to two days	Several floors and sitting rooms
From Abha to Khamis Mushait	About an hour is added for the road	Traffic on the road at office hours
To As-Soudah or Rijal Almaa	One to two hours are added	Fog and the pass

What is particular to Abha: altitude, fog and the season

Abha is one of the highest cities in the Kingdom, more than 2,200 metres above sea level. That altitude has a direct effect on moving day. The summer air is mild, so heat does not wear the crew down as it does in the coastal cities, but rain falls in spring and summer, and in winter fog covers the roads until visibility drops to metres. Plastic sheeting and covers are therefore part of the kit for every move here, not a rare precaution.

Summer is the city’s season. Holidaymakers come from across the Kingdom and the Gulf, so furnished flats fill up, the roads to As-Soudah and the parks become crowded, and demand for moving crews grows as owners prepare their units. Anyone who wants to move in those months should book earlier. The movement of large trucks on certain roads and passes is regulated by the competent authorities, and the arrangements change with the season and the weather, so we check what is in force before loading day.

Moving appliances: air conditioners, heaters, fridge, washing machine and screens

Homes in Abha hold one appliance you do not find in the same numbers in the coastal cities: the heater. Winter is cold, so oil, gas and electric heaters are common. An oil heater travels upright once it has cooled, a gas heater is separated from its cylinder, and no gas cylinder is loaded with furniture in a closed body. Air conditioners are fewer here, and those there are get removed by a cooling technician who pumps the gas down into the outdoor unit before disconnecting the pipes.

The other appliances follow the familiar rules, with one caution that belongs to the mountain road: the fridge travels upright and strapped to the wall of the body, because the bends tilt it. The washing-machine drum is locked with its transit bolts. And a screen travels upright in its carton between two soft pieces.

Appliance	Preparation	In the new home
Fridge and freezer	Emptied and defrosted a day ahead, doors tied	Left standing for several hours, then switched on
Washing machine	Water drained and drum locked	Lock removed and feet levelled
Oven and cooker	Gas disconnected, racks and glass wrapped separately	Connected and checked for leaks
Split air conditioner	Gas pumped down and both units removed by a technician	Fitted, vacuumed and tested
Heaters	Cooled, gas cylinder disconnected	A trial run in a ventilated place
Screens and computers	Original carton or foam, and a data backup	Connected, and the screen hung if requested

Office and hotel furniture, and moving shops

We move all three kinds: household, office and hotel furniture. An office differs from a home in one decisive respect, which is that every day of stoppage is a loss. So it is dismantled on Thursday evening or over the weekend, and staff come back to desks assembled in their places. Every desk, filing cabinet and chair carries its owner’s name and room number in the new premises, and files travel in cartons sealed with tape signed by a manager of the organisation.

Hotel furniture has a wide market in Abha because of the many furnished flats and lodges that are fitted out before summer. This furniture is moved unit by unit against a standard list, so each room arrives with its bed, wardrobe and table and no mixing between units. Shops and showrooms have their shelving and glass display fronts dismantled, and the fronts are wrapped in foam and carried upright.

Moving furniture from Abha to other Saudi cities

Leaving Abha with a load of furniture means taking one of three directions. East and north to Khamis Mushait, then Bisha or Wadi ad-Dawasir towards Riyadh, on the level plateau road. North along the Sarat road to Al-Baha and Taif. Or west, down the pass to Tihamah and then the coast road to Jazan or Jeddah. The direction is chosen by the destination and the state of the passes on loading day.

Destination	Approximate distance	Truck time	Delivery by dedicated truck
Jazan	About 200 km	3–4 hours	Same day
Bisha	About 260 km	3–4 hours	Same day
Najran	About 280 km	About 4 hours	Same day
Al-Baha	About 340 km	5–6 hours	Same day or the next
Taif	About 560 km	7–8 hours	Next day
Jeddah and Makkah	About 650 km	About 9 hours	Next day
Riyadh	About 950 km	11–12 hours	Within one to two days
Dammam	About 1,350 km	About a day and a half	Within two to three days

The passes: between Abha and the coast run descending mountain roads, the best known being the Sha’ar pass towards Muhayil Asir, the road most trucks take, and the Dhila pass towards Ad-Darb and Jazan. These roads are sometimes closed for maintenance or in heavy rain, and what is permitted for trucks varies from time to time. So we do not promise a particular road in advance; we confirm which is open before loading and work out the journey time on that basis.

The inter-city price is set on request, as it follows the volume of furniture, the distance and whether the truck is yours alone or shared. For anyone with scattered cartons and no household furniture, shipping between cities starts from SAR 87 a carton, with details in domestic shipping in Saudi Arabia. Other cities have their own articles: furniture moving company in Jeddah and furniture moving company in Taif.

Transporting cars from Abha along with the furniture

A family moving to Riyadh or Dammam usually owns more than one car, and the head of the household cannot drive them all a thousand kilometres. So the second car is loaded onto a car carrier and handed over in the new city. At collection it is photographed from all four sides and its odometer and fuel level recorded, its wheels are strapped to the carrier deck, and it is handed to its owner or an authorised person against the same photos.

The price for transporting a car from Abha is set on request, by city and type of carrier: an open one carrying several cars, or an enclosed one for a luxury or classic car. Taking the carrier down from the highlands depends on the state of the passes, as with furniture trucks. Anyone leaving the Kingdom with their car will find the methods on the car shipping page.

Storing furniture between two homes

It happens that a tenant leaves a flat before the new home is ready, or that an employee is transferred and has not yet found housing. We say it plainly: we have no warehouse in Abha. The solution we arrange is closed storage whose place and period are agreed on request, with the price set once the volume of furniture is known.

The furniture enters storage under the same inventory that was written in your home, and comes out under the same numbers. What cannot be stored, such as foodstuffs and gas cylinders, and the conditions of keeping in general, are explained in the article on furniture storage in Jeddah.

Moving from Abha to destinations abroad by land and sea

Abha and Khamis Mushait have many expatriate residents working at the university, in hospitals and in education, and when their contracts end they take their homes back to their countries. That is a move with conditions unlike a domestic one: packing that lasts days on the road or weeks inside a container, and a contents list in Arabic and English presented to customs in the country of arrival. Abha is an inland city with no port, so every shipment begins with a road leg.

Destination	Method	Route of the shipment from Abha	Price
Gulf states	Closed trucks by land	Via Wadi ad-Dawasir and Riyadh to the border crossing	A carton from SAR 140; household furniture set on request
Jordan	Closed trucks by land	North via Jeddah or Riyadh to the border crossing	Set on request
Turkey, North Africa and Europe	Full or shared container by sea	Truck to Jeddah Islamic Port	Set on request
Any destination, for what cannot wait	Air	Abha International Airport, or through Jeddah or Riyadh	From SAR 14 per kilogram to the Gulf

Jazan port is nearer to Abha on the map, but the regular container services to most destinations sail from Jeddah Islamic Port, so that is where furniture containers go. The three methods and returnees’ exemptions are explained in international furniture shipping company from Saudi Arabia, and port and airport services in international shipping companies in Jeddah. To compare: land freight and sea freight.

Air freight for furniture and belongings from Abha to destinations abroad

Air freight is priced by the kilogram, so it does not suit the furniture of a whole house. Its place is urgent pieces and belongings: bags over the ticket allowance, cartons of clothes and books, small appliances, and a valuable piece its owner does not want out of sight for weeks. The usual pattern is that someone leaving sends the furniture by land or sea and sends by air what will be needed straight after arrival.

Abha International Airport lies between Abha and Khamis Mushait, and international flights operate from it to a handful of destinations in the Gulf and Egypt, on a schedule that changes from season to season. If your destination is among them and the flight accepts cargo, your shipment leaves from there directly. If not, it moves by domestic flight or by truck to King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah or King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, and from there abroad. We tell you the routing before collection. The chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric, and the calculation is on the air freight page.

To	Price starts from	Approximate door-to-door time
Gulf states	SAR 14 per kilogram	2–4 days
Europe	SAR 23 per kilogram	4–8 days
United Kingdom	SAR 26 per kilogram	4–8 days
North and West Africa	SAR 28 per kilogram	5–9 days
United States	SAR 41 per kilogram	6–10 days
Documents	SAR 83	By destination

“With a guarantee”: what does responsibility for the furniture mean?

Many people search for a move “with a guarantee”, and it is as well to know what that means before agreeing. The crew is responsible for the pieces it packs and carries itself, and the limits of that responsibility and the way to claim are written in the booking confirmation that reaches you before moving day. We promise no percentage or period beyond what is in that confirmation. What the customer has packed personally in sealed cartons is carried with care, but the arrangement of what is inside is the customer’s own work.

Alongside this there is optional cargo insurance, offered on request; we recommend it for inter-city moves and long mountain roads, and it is explained on the cargo insurance page. The strongest practical guarantee is the inventory: the pieces are checked by number before the crew leaves, and anything noticed is written down there and then.

How do you book your move in Abha?

1. Film a clip that passes through the rooms and send it by WhatsApp to 0552803439.
2. Send the location of both homes, the floor number at each, and a photo of the street.
3. We reply with the price, its items and the type of vehicle.
4. You fix the date and receive the booking confirmation and its terms.
5. The day before, we go over the weather and the arrival time with you.
6. The crew arrives, dismantles, packs, numbers and writes the inventory.
7. The truck is loaded row by row with the straps tightened, and sets off for the new address.
8. The pieces are unloaded and assembled, you match the numbers with the supervisor, then you pay.

What you prepare before the crew arrives:

• Empty wardrobes and drawers; a wardrobe is dismantled empty.
• Put jewellery, cash, documents and medicines in a bag that stays with you.
• Defrost the fridge a day ahead and drain the washing machine.
• Disconnect gas cylinders from the cooker and heaters, and carry them yourself.
• Tell the neighbours and the building caretaker when the truck is due.
• Pack a carton for the first night: heavy blankets, as Abha nights are cold.
• Make sure you have the keys to the new house and that the electricity is connected.

How do you choose a furniture moving company in Abha?

The wording is the same in every advert: “best”, “cheapest”, “most skilled workers”. So do not judge by the wording; judge by what the mover asks you before pricing. One who asks about the slope of the street and the floor, and wants photos, knows what awaits in Abha. One who names a figure in the first minute will revise it on seeing the rise outside your house.

Common mistakes when moving furniture in Abha

• Moving timber wrapped in plastic film alone on a foggy day, so moisture condenses on the finish.
• Parking the truck with its rear facing down the slope and then opening its door.
• Leaving the lashing until the truck is full, so the first rows shift on the first descent.
• Fixing a time after mid-afternoon in the rainy season.
• Putting off the booking until midsummer, when crews are busy.
• Loading a gas cylinder, or a heater with fuel in it, alongside the furniture.
• Accepting the furniture without matching the numbers against the inventory.

Frequently asked questions about a furniture moving company in Abha

What does a furniture moving company in Abha do?

It takes the whole move off your hands, stage by stage: counting the pieces from your photos, dismantling bedrooms, desks and wardrobes, wrapping timber in blankets and guarding legs and edges with corrugated cardboard, then loading into a closed truck, unloading and assembling at the new address. It works inside the districts of Abha, between Abha, Khamis Mushait and the governorates of Asir, and from there to other Saudi cities and abroad.

How much is a furniture move within Abha?

A single room or a handful of pieces starts from SAR 460, a flat of two or three rooms from SAR 550, a spacious flat or a whole floor from SAR 920, and a villa from SAR 2,150. The figure then shifts with the number of pieces, the floor, the gradient and width of the street, and the dismantling and packing you ask for. Film your rooms and send the clip to 0552803439 to receive an itemised price.

You are in Jeddah, so how do you serve Abha?

By an appointment booked ahead. Home Safe is an establishment registered in Jeddah, about 650 km from Abha, so we arrange the truck and the workers for your moving date specifically. We do not say we have a branch or a warehouse in Abha. What we ask of you is to book several days before the date, and earlier still if the move falls in the summer holiday months.

Does a move between Abha and Khamis Mushait count as an inter-city move?

In practice it is closer to a long local move. The two cities are about 30 km apart on a fast road, and the truck covers it in under an hour, so a flat is loaded in the morning and assembled in Khamis Mushait before sunset. Only the difference for the trip is added to the in-city price, and it is stated in the booking confirmation before loading day.

How do you keep timber from being scratched?

Every wooden panel is covered with a thick moving blanket, and the tape is pulled tight over the cloth, never onto the wood itself. Legs, corners and edges, the first things to strike a wall, are fitted with pieces of corrugated cardboard before the blanket goes on. On a damp day plastic film is kept off polished surfaces, so that condensation leaves no mark on the finish.

What is the point of numbering and listing the pieces?

The number answers three questions on arrival: has everything arrived, which room does this piece go to, and which panel joins which. We give every piece and carton a number and the name of its room, and record it on a list in two copies. You match the numbers at unloading, and the fitter finds the wardrobe’s screws in the bag that carries its number.

My house is on a sloping street. Can the truck stop there?

Yes, if the street is wide enough for it. The truck is parked with its front facing up the slope and its wheels chocked, then the loading ramp is run from the body to the ground and heavy pieces go up on a trolley. If the street is narrower than the truck or too steep, it waits on the nearest level ground and a smaller vehicle brings the furniture to it.

Which districts of Abha do you reach?

All of them. Al-Mansak, Al-Khalidiyah and Shamasan; Al-Muftaha, Al-Muwazzafin and Al-Mahalah; and with them Ad-Dabab, As-Sadd, Ar-Rabwah, Al-Muruj, Al-Aziziyah, Al-Wardatain, Al-Khasha, Al-Qabil and An-Nasb. Outside the city we reach As-Soudah, Rijal Almaa, Ahad Rafidah and Khamis Mushait. The district decides the type of vehicle, not whether we can serve you, so send the location and a photo of the street.

How many hours does it take to move a flat in Abha?

A flat of two or three rooms normally needs 4 to 6 hours from the crew walking in to the last piece being assembled, when the street takes the truck and the floor is near ground level. A single room takes two or three hours. The time grows if fog or rain makes us pause loading, if the staircase is long, or if there are many desks and wardrobes to dismantle.

Do you assemble desks and bedrooms after the move?

Yes, and assembly is part of the move, not a separate service. A desk gets its legs, drawers and runners back, and a bedroom has its wardrobe built, its doors balanced and its bed tightened. If you want dismantling and assembly alone with no transport, such as moving a room from one floor to another, a bedroom starts from SAR 275 and dismantling a kitchen from SAR 640.

Do you move from Abha to Jeddah, Riyadh and Jazan?

Yes. Jazan is about 200 km away and Najran about 280 km, and both are usually delivered on loading day. Jeddah is about 650 km away and Riyadh about 950 km, so furniture reaches them the next day or the day after on a dedicated truck. The inter-city price is set on request, because it is worked out from the volume of furniture, the length of the road and the type of truck.

Do fog and rain affect the moving date?

They may delay it by hours; they do not cancel it. Abha is a high city where fog settles in winter and rain is frequent in spring and summer, and the passes down to Tihamah are sometimes closed in heavy rain. So we follow the weather the day before, cover the pieces with plastic between the door and the truck, and put loading back a little when waiting is safer for the furniture.

Do you have furniture storage in Abha?

We have no warehouse in Abha and do not claim one. For anyone who needs furniture kept for a while, closed storage is arranged, with its place, period and price agreed on request once the volume is known. You are given a numbered, photographed inventory of what went in, and the furniture returns to your new home under the same numbers it left with.

Do you ship furniture from Abha to other countries?

Yes. The furniture is export-packed in your home, then travels by land in closed trucks to the Gulf states and Jordan, or is taken to Jeddah Islamic Port to sail in a container to other countries. A carton to the Gulf by land starts from SAR 140, and the price for a whole household is set on request after it has been listed.

How much is air freight from Abha to destinations abroad?

The price is per kilogram and varies with the destination. The Gulf states are nearest and start from SAR 14 a kilo, then Europe from SAR 23, the United Kingdom from SAR 26, the countries of North and West Africa from SAR 28, and furthest of all the United States from SAR 41. An envelope of documents starts from SAR 83. The shipment departs from Abha International Airport when a flight suits its destination and accepts cargo; otherwise it passes through Jeddah or Riyadh airport.
