Furniture Moving from Jeddah to Taif 0552803439 | Dismantling, Packing, Assembly and Car Transport in Closed Trucks

Furniture moving from Jeddah to Taif is a short trip in kilometres, about 170 km, but it climbs from the coast to a mountain city roughly 1,700 metres above sea level. That is why the furniture is loaded into a closed truck and strapped row by row, and why the truck takes the Al Sail road assigned to trucks. An average home is delivered the same day. A carton up to 20 kg starts from SAR 87, dismantling and reassembling a bedroom from SAR 275, and the charge for a whole home is set on request. To book: 0552803439.

Who moves furniture from Jeddah to Taif?

The line is busy all year and busier before summer. Taif has been the summer resort of Jeddah’s families for decades, and it has a university, hospitals and military sectors that receive transferred staff. Each group needs something different, and knowing which one you are saves half the questions.

Who	What they usually move	What suits them
A family relocating for good	The furniture and appliances of a whole home	A dedicated truck with dismantling and assembly
A transferred employee or serviceman	The furniture of a two- to four-room flat	A dedicated truck, or a shared one if there is no hurry
A family furnishing a summer house	Bedrooms, seating and basic appliances	A shared load before the season
The owner of a rest house or farm	Outdoor seating, a kitchen and air conditioners	A dedicated truck that reaches Al Hada or Al Shafa
A student or single employee	A bed, a desk and cartons	A shared load, by the carton and the piece
A shop or showroom	Goods bought in Jeddah’s markets	Regular runs on fixed days

What does the door-to-door service include?

The service is a chain of linked steps carried out by one crew, so you do not look for a carpenter in Jeddah and porters in Taif. It begins with a survey of the furniture; the crew then arrives with packing materials and dismantling tools, the furniture leaves the flat numbered, and it enters the Taif house and is assembled in its rooms.

We are based in Jeddah, so the crew and the truck set off from the city where your move begins. Delivery and assembly in Taif are completed by the same crew that loaded, not by a second party taking over. That is what gives the numbered list its meaning: whoever wrote the number is the one looking for it at unloading.

• A survey from photos or a visit, fixing the truck size and the number of workers.
• Dismantling beds, wardrobes, tables, curtains and, on request, air conditioners.
• Packing each piece in the material that suits it, with cartons for kitchenware, books and clothes.
• Numbering the pieces and writing a list, a copy of which is handed to you.
• Bringing items down by lift, stairs or exterior hoist.
• Loading into a closed truck and securing with straps.
• Unloading in Taif, assembling and arranging room by room.

The survey and how the agreement is made

The agreement starts with a call or a WhatsApp message, then a survey. Most customers simply photograph the rooms one by one with the wardrobes open, and the coordinator estimates the volume from the photos. A large home, or one with special pieces such as a piano or a steel safe, is visited before pricing.

After the survey four things are agreed clearly: the price and what it covers, the way the furniture will be brought down from its floor (lift, stairs or hoist), the loading day and hour, and whether the truck is dedicated or shared. These items are written in the booking confirmation, along with the terms for changing the date and the responsibility for the pieces, so nothing is left to memory.

There are two questions we always ask about the Taif house before fixing the price: does the street reach the door with a large truck, and how many steps are there between the street and the entrance? Many Taif homes are built on a slope, and the answer decides whether a small vehicle is needed for the last few metres.

Packing and numbering furniture in Jeddah flats before the move to Taif

Packing is done inside the flat, room after room, not on the pavement. The crew begins with chairs and tables because they scratch most easily: chair legs are wrapped in corrugated cardboard, the table top is covered with a blanket and then stretch film, and its glass is lifted off and packed separately between two sheets.

Every piece receives a number on a visible label, and the number is entered in the list with the name of the room it will go to in Taif. Carton 14 is “kitchen”, and wardrobe panel 31 is “master bedroom”. At unloading each number goes straight to its room, so cartons do not pile up in the living room.

In Jeddah’s apartment buildings the furniture is made ready for the lift before the lift is called: a long piece is measured against the cabin, the lift walls are padded if the building management asks for it, and the packed pieces are lined up near the door in loading order. Whatever will not fit in the lift is known from the survey, so it is dismantled further or lowered by hoist.

Piece	How it is packed	Note for this line
Dining and office chairs	Corrugated cardboard on the legs and stretch film on the seat	Loaded nested to save space
Dining table with a glass top	The glass between two foam sheets; the legs removed	The glass stands on its edge through the bends
Sofas and majlis seating	Moving blankets, then film	Nothing heavy is placed on them for the climb
Mattresses	Sealed mattress bags	Used as buffers between fragile pieces
Screens and mirrors	Foam, cardboard corners and a box	Upright and fixed to the wall of the truck box
Kitchenware and ornaments	Paper round each item and a double-wall carton	The carton is full, with no gap to rattle

If you would like to pack some of your belongings yourself before moving day, the method is set out in the guide to packing furniture for a move.

Dismantling: what comes apart and what travels in one piece?

The carpenter does not take everything apart. The rule is to dismantle a piece that will not pass through the door or the lift, or whose joints might suffer from vibration. Everything else travels as it is, since every extra round of dismantling and assembly costs time and tires chipboard.

Piece	Dismantled?	Reason
Multi-door wardrobe	Yes	It does not fit the lift, and its joints cannot bear being carried upright
Double bed	Yes	The frame comes apart into headboard, sides and base
Dining table	Legs and glass	The top travels on its own, wrapped
Corner sofa	Separated into its sections	It is made to separate and needs no carpenter
Dressing table and bedside units	No, only the mirror is removed	Small and sturdy
Fitted kitchen	On request	Taken down unit by unit and numbered by its place on the wall

The screws and hinges of each piece are gathered in a bag taped to its largest panel or marked with its number. This small detail is what makes assembly in Taif take one hour rather than three.

Bringing furniture down in Jeddah: lift, stairs or exterior hoist?

The method is agreed before moving day, because it changes the time and the charge. Three cases are common in Jeddah: a tower with a service lift, an old building with stairs only, and a flat holding a piece that will not pass through the door at all.

Method	When it is used	What it requires
The building lift	Towers and modern buildings	Management permission, a lift booking and cabin padding
Stairs, by hand	Buildings without a lift, up to a few floors	More workers, carrying straps and corner protection
Exterior hoist	Upper floors, or pieces that will not pass the stairs	A balcony or wide window and room for the hoist to stand
Small shuttle vehicle	The lanes of Al Balad and the old districts	Trips in batches to the truck on the main street

A hoist is faster and safer for large pieces, but it is added to the charge and needs somewhere to stand. Carrying by hand is enough for most flats up to the third floor. What matters is that the method is stated in the booking confirmation, so that loading day brings no request that was not counted.

Dedicated truck or shared load?

The short distance makes a dedicated truck the natural choice for anyone moving a home: it is loaded in the morning and emptied in the evening. A shared load suits someone moving little and in no hurry, since it waits until enough shipments going up to Taif have gathered.

Point of comparison	Dedicated truck	Shared load
For whom	A whole house or flat	A room, pieces or cartons
Duration	Usually the same day	1–3 days
Date	You set it	Follows the filling of the truck
Stops on the way	None	Unloading for more than one customer
Cost	The charge for the whole truck	In proportion to the space you occupy

The truck size is chosen from the survey. A small flat fits a medium truck with a closed box, while a large home needs a long truck or two trucks. We never send an open truck to Taif however small the load, because rain and fog there come unannounced.

The mountain road from Jeddah to Taif and what it means for your load

Two roads climb to the mountain between the two cities after Makkah, and each has its own rule. The Al Hada road is the shorter and better known, scaling the escarpment through a succession of sharp bends. The Al Sail Al Kabir road loops round from the north of Makkah; it is a little longer and its gradient is gentler.

The practice in force is that large trucks and tankers use the Al Sail road, which is the one assigned to them, and do not climb the Al Hada escarpment. Your furniture truck therefore travels via Al Sail. The Al Hada road is sometimes closed during rainfall and rockfalls, and all traffic is diverted to Al Sail. We confirm the state of both roads on the morning of the move.

Point of comparison	Al Sail Al Kabir road	Al Hada road
Who uses it	Large and medium trucks and general traffic	Light vehicles
Character	A gradual climb with wider bends	A mountain escarpment with sharp bends
Length	A little longer	The shorter one
In rain	Remains the approved alternative	May be closed temporarily
Role in furniture moving	The furniture truck’s road	For a small vehicle with a few cartons, if permitted

The climb changes the way the truck is loaded. On a level road it is enough to line the pieces up tightly. On gradients and bends the load leans backwards and sideways, so the heavy items go at the bottom and at the front of the box, and each row is held by its own strap. The driver climbs at a calm, steady speed, because sudden braking on a slope is harder on furniture than the length of the road.

The road passes beside Makkah on its ring roads without entering the centre. During the Hajj season and the last days of Ramadan vehicle movement around the Holy Capital is regulated, so we confirm the available route and time before fixing the date.

How long does the trip take? A moving-day timetable

A move by dedicated truck is completed in one day for most flats. The longest part is not the road but the dismantling and packing before it and the assembly after it. This is an approximate breakdown for a three-room flat:

Stage	Approximate time	Where
Crew arrives; dismantling and packing begin	3–4 hours	The Jeddah flat
Bringing down, loading and securing	1.5–2 hours	In front of the building
The road via Al Sail	3–4 hours	Jeddah → Taif
Unloading and distributing pieces to the rooms	1–2 hours	The Taif house
Assembly and arranging	2–3 hours	The Taif house

Anyone who would rather not let the day run into the night can split it: packing and loading after mid-afternoon, the climb at dawn, and assembly in daylight. This is what we advise for villas and for families with children.

What lengthens the time? A lift booked by another resident, a kitchen dismantled at the last minute, congestion at the Jeddah exit in rush hour, fog or rain on the heights, and a Taif street the truck cannot enter, so the furniture is carried in batches.

Prices for furniture moving from Jeddah to Taif

The charge for moving a home between the two cities cannot honestly be reduced to one figure, since it follows the volume, the two floors, the dismantling and the truck. We therefore set it on request after the survey. What can be fixed is the price of specific items, shown in the table:

Item	Price
Moving a flat or villa by dedicated truck	Set on request after the survey
A room or pieces in a shared load	Set on request by volume
Carton or parcel up to 20 kg	Starts from SAR 87
Small parcel up to 5 kg	Starts from SAR 32
Dismantling and reassembling a bedroom	Starts from SAR 275
Dismantling a kitchen	Starts from SAR 640
Storage, small space	Starts from SAR 185 a month
Storage, furniture of a flat	Starts from SAR 600 a month
Moving a car on a carrier	Set on request

Prices quoted in the market: we looked through the pages of carriers on this line and found that most publish no figure for moving a home between Jeddah and Taif, settling for the phrase “reasonable prices” and an invitation to call. Classified adverts show only the hire of a vehicle inside the city, with no dismantling, no packing and no climb to the mountain, so they are no basis for comparison. The practical outcome is to compare offers item by item, not figure by figure.

What changes the price	How it affects it
Volume of furniture	Decides the truck size and the number of workers
The floor and the way down	Stairs and a hoist add time and cost
Amount of dismantling and assembly	The kitchen, air conditioners and large wardrobes are separate items
Level of packing	Full packing of every piece, or only fragile items and wood
Type of truck	Dedicated or shared
Location of the Taif house	Al Hada, Al Shafa and steep streets need more time or a shuttle vehicle
Date	Month-end and the start of summer are in higher demand

How do you lower the cost? Move only what you need: selling an old piece in Jeddah is cheaper than hauling it uphill. Prepare the light cartons yourself and leave the wood and glass to the crew. Book midweek. If you have little furniture, choose the shared load. And mention everything in the survey, because a piece that appears on loading day is charged at a higher rate.

Unloading and assembling furniture in Taif homes

On arrival the crew leader enters the house before the truck door is opened. He settles with you where each room is, the passages are covered and the stair corners protected, and then unloading starts by number. The large pieces go in first to be assembled, and the cartons follow to their rooms.

Assembling the bedrooms takes the most time: the bed frame, then the wardrobe panel by panel, then adjusting the doors until they close level. The floors of some older Taif houses are not perfectly even, so the wardrobe feet are adjusted on the spot. The crew does not leave before you have opened every door and drawer with your own hand.

Area of Taif	Districts in it	What to allow for at delivery
City centre	Shihar, Al Faisaliyah, Al Salamah, Shubra	Streets are busy by day; unloading is easier in the evening or early morning
North Taif	Al Hawiyah and the area round the airport and the university	Modern layouts and wide streets a truck can enter
West and south of the city	Qarwa, Al Mathnah, Nakhb	Some streets are steep, and a small vehicle may be needed
East of the city	Al Sharqiyah, Al Sadad, Al Aqiq, Jabrah	Apartment buildings and villas; we ask about stairs and the entrance
The resorts	Al Hada, Al Shafa	Narrow mountain roads to the rest houses; the stopping point is fixed in advance

What is different about Taif’s houses and climate?

Your furniture is moving from a hot, humid coastal city to a drier, cooler mountain one. The difference shows on wood and leather in the first weeks, and it affects which furniture you need in the first place.

• Natural wood shrinks slightly in dry air, so the bolts of beds and tables are tightened two weeks after assembly.
• Taif’s winter is cold, so heaters, heavy blankets and carpets deserve a place in the truck.
• You may not need all of your many Jeddah air conditioners, so ask what the house requires before they are removed.
• Many houses have outside stairs or an entrance raised above the street, which is counted in the survey.
• Rain comes in summer too, so pieces are unloaded still wrapped until they are through the door.

For moves inside the city itself, from one district to another, see the article on a furniture moving company in Taif.

Electrical appliances: getting them ready for the climb

Appliances are the heaviest part of the load and the most sensitive to tilting and vibration. Preparing them starts the day before the move, not when the crew arrives. The table shows what is done with each one:

Appliance	Before loading	After arrival in Taif
Fridge and freezer	Emptied, unplugged a day ahead and dried; carried upright	Left for some hours before being switched on
Washing machine	Water drained and the drum locked with transit bolts	Bolts removed and feet levelled
Split air conditioner	The technician pumps down the gas and removes both units	Fitted with pipes that suit the new position
Oven and cooker	Gas cylinder disconnected; shelves carried separately	Connected by a technician and checked for leaks
Screen	Its original carton, or foam and a box, upright	Mounted on the wall or placed on its stand

Gas cylinders are not loaded full inside a closed box with furniture. It is safer to exchange them in Taif.

Car transport between Jeddah and Taif

The short distance means most families drive their own car behind the truck or ahead of it. The carrier still has its place: a family with two cars and one driver, a classic or low-slung car the owner would rather not take up the climb, or a broken-down car going to a workshop.

The car is loaded onto a carrier and secured by its wheels, and it takes the same truck road. Its price on this line is set on request by the type of car and whether the carrier is shared or dedicated. For comparison only: transport on the long line between Jeddah and Riyadh starts from SAR 830, with details in the article on furniture moving from Jeddah to Riyadh.

Cartons, single pieces and luggage

Not everyone who calls is moving a home. A student sends cartons of books and clothes to lodgings near the university, a mother sends a fridge to her daughter, and a family sends its summer suitcases up before following them. All of these are accepted in the shared load with no minimum number of pieces.

A carton or parcel up to 20 kg starts from SAR 87 and a small parcel up to 5 kg from SAR 32. A large piece such as a sofa or fridge is priced by its volume once packed. Write the consignee’s name, mobile number and Taif district on every piece. The other services between cities are in the article on a domestic shipping company in Saudi Arabia.

Offices, shops and rest houses

Moving an office differs from moving a home in one respect: time. A business wants to close in Jeddah on Thursday evening and open in Taif on Sunday morning. So files are packed in cartons numbered by desk, partitions and linked desks are dismantled, and devices and servers travel in padded cases.

Owners of rest houses and farms in Al Hada and Al Shafa move outdoor seating, kitchens, tanks and children’s play equipment. These are bulky, light pieces that fill a truck quickly, so a survey from photos is essential for choosing its size. We always ask about the last point a truck can reach before the unpaved track.

Storage when the two dates do not match

The lease on the Jeddah flat often ends before the Taif house is ready, or painting and plumbing run two weeks late. The answer is for the furniture to leave packed and numbered for a closed warehouse, then go up to Taif on the day the house is ready, on the same list.

A small space starts from SAR 185 a month and the furniture of a whole flat from SAR 600 a month. Mattresses and sofas are stored raised off the floor, and appliances dry with their doors slightly open. Details are in the article on furniture storage in Jeddah.

From Taif to Jeddah: the opposite direction

The same service runs downhill. Studies or a posting end, or the summer house is sold, and the furniture returns to the coast. The crew goes up in the morning with the truck and the packing materials, dismantles and loads in Taif, comes down the Al Sail road and assembles in Jeddah.

The descent calls for the same care: the load leans forward under braking, so the heavy pieces are loaded against the front of the box and strapped to it. In Jeddah we ask about the hours when loading is allowed in the building, the lift size and where the truck can stand in front of the entrance. Moves inside Jeddah are covered in the article on a furniture moving company in Jeddah.

Air freight from Jeddah and Taif to destinations abroad

Between Jeddah and Taif an aircraft makes no sense, since the truck arrives within hours. Air freight serves someone leaving the Kingdom from either city who wants suitcases and cartons to arrive ahead of them, or who is sending an urgent piece to family abroad.

The departure point we rely on is King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, which has the cargo village and frequent flights to every continent. Taif International Airport in Al Hawiyah handles passenger flights to a limited number of regional destinations that change with the seasons, so we do not rely on it for freight. Whatever leaves Taif is therefore collected from its owner’s door, driven down to Jeddah airport and flown from there.

Air suits personal luggage, clothes, books, small devices and documents. Large furniture cannot justify its cost by air and belongs in a truck or a container. The price is calculated on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater, and you can work it out with the volumetric weight calculator.

Destination	Price starts from	What suits it by air
Gulf states	SAR 14 per kilogram	Urgent luggage and gifts
Europe	SAR 23 per kilogram	Luggage of students and scholarship holders
United Kingdom	SAR 26 per kilogram	Cartons of clothes and books
North and West Africa	SAR 28 per kilogram	Returnees’ luggage and gifts
United States	SAR 41 per kilogram	Documents and personal effects

Our air-freight office, and what airlines accept and refuse, are explained in the article on the air freight office in Jeddah.

Moving abroad by land and sea

International shipping is our first line of work, and moving between cities is an extension of it. For anyone relocating from Taif or Jeddah to the Gulf or Jordan, the furniture goes by land in a closed truck through the border crossings. For Turkey, North Africa or Europe it is loaded into a container at Jeddah Islamic Port.

Furniture from Taif bound for abroad comes down to Jeddah first, where it is consolidated and prepared for the crossing or the port. Destinations and prices are in the article on international furniture moving in Jeddah, and the full picture for the Kingdom is in the article on an international furniture shipping company from Saudi Arabia.

Booking steps from the first call to assembly

1. Call or message 0552803439 and give the Jeddah district, the Taif district and the approximate date.
2. Send photos of the rooms with the wardrobes open, and photos of the building entrance and the Taif house entrance.
3. You receive the price and what it covers, the way down, and the type of truck.
4. You fix the day and receive the booking confirmation with the items and terms.
5. The day before, you prepare: fridge unplugged, valuables in your bag, lift booked.
6. The crew arrives, dismantles, packs and numbers, and you sign the list.
7. The truck climbs via Al Sail, and the driver notifies you on departure and when he is near.
8. The furniture is unloaded and assembled; you check the list number by number and sign for receipt.

Responsibility, insurance and follow-up on the road

The crew is responsible for what it has packed and loaded with its own hands, under the terms written in the booking confirmation. This is why the condition of the pieces is recorded in the list before packing: an old scratch on a wardrobe door or a break in a chair leg is noted and photographed, so that no two people disagree about it on arrival.

Insurance on the load is optional and arranged on request, and it is worth its cost when the home holds expensive appliances, fine furniture or ornaments. It does not cover a carton sealed by its owner whose contents were not seen. Details are on the cargo insurance page.

Follow-up on a line this short is simple: you have the driver’s number, a message on leaving Jeddah, a second on reaching Al Sail, and a third half an hour before arrival so that someone is at the house.

Caring for your furniture after it reaches Taif

The move takes a day, and the furniture lives in the house for years. These few habits preserve it, and some concern summer houses that stay shut for months:

• Wipe wood regularly with a soft dry cloth, because built-up dust scratches the polish over time.
• Keep wooden and leather pieces out of direct sun from the window, which fades the colour and cracks the surface.
• Do not leave water on wood, and put mats under glasses and plant pots.
• Check the corners of wardrobes and behind the kitchen from time to time, and treat insects and rodents at the first sign.
• Cover sofas and mattresses with fabric sheets when the summer house is shut, not with plastic film that traps moisture.
• Open the windows when you return after a long absence, and air the wardrobes before putting clothes back.

How do you choose a company to move your furniture to Taif?

Offers on this line are many and sound alike. The difference shows in the answers to specific questions about the road and the house, not in general promises.

Ask	A reassuring answer	An answer that calls for caution
Which road does the truck climb?	Al Sail, with the road’s condition confirmed on moving day	“Either road, it makes no difference”
Is the truck closed?	A closed box and securing straps	An open vehicle and a tarpaulin
Who assembles in Taif?	The same crew that dismantled in Jeddah	“You will find a carpenter there”
What does the price cover?	Named items: dismantling, packing, bringing down, transport, assembly	A total that changes at the door
Is a list of the pieces written?	A numbered list and a copy for you	“We know your belongings”
Is the establishment registered?	A commercial registration and a booking confirmation	A mobile number with no establishment name

Common mistakes on this line

• Hiring an open vehicle because “it is a short run”, and then it rains at Al Sail.
• Assuming the truck climbs via Al Hada and planning the day on a light car’s driving time.
• Leaving the kitchen or the air conditioners out of the survey, so the truck or the time falls short.
• Loading glass and marble flat beneath the cartons.
• Forgetting to book the building lift in Jeddah, so the crew waits an hour at the door.
• Not asking about the street of the Taif house, then finding that the truck has to stop far from it.
• Putting gold and official papers in one carton among dozens.

Frequently asked questions about furniture moving from Jeddah to Taif

How far is Taif from Jeddah and how long does the truck take?

The road distance is about 170 km between the two city centres, a little more depending on the district you leave in Jeddah and the one you are heading to in Taif. A light car covers it in roughly an hour and a half to two hours. A loaded furniture truck takes the Al Sail road and climbs slowly, so it needs about three to four hours door to door.

How much does furniture moving from Jeddah to Taif cost?

The charge for moving a home is set on request, because it follows the volume of furniture, the floor in both buildings, the amount of dismantling and packing and the type of truck. The figures we do fix: a carton up to 20 kg starts from SAR 87, dismantling and reassembling a bedroom from SAR 275, and dismantling a kitchen from SAR 640. Send photos of the rooms to 0552803439 and you will have the figure the same day.

Does the furniture arrive the same day?

Yes, for most average homes when the truck is dedicated to you. The crew starts dismantling and packing in Jeddah in the morning, the truck leaves before mid-afternoon, and unloading in Taif begins around sunset. A large villa, or a home with a kitchen to take down and many air conditioners, takes two days: one for preparation and loading, one for the road and the assembly.

Does the furniture truck go up the Al Hada road?

Large trucks do not climb the Al Hada escarpment; the road assigned to them is the Al Sail Al Kabir road north of Makkah. The Al Hada road has very sharp bends and is sometimes closed during rain and rockfalls. A small vehicle carrying cartons or a few pieces may use it when it is open and permitted, and we confirm the state of both roads on the morning of the move.

Are dismantling and assembly part of the service?

Yes, and most customers on this line ask for them. The crew’s carpenter takes apart beds, wardrobes and dining tables in Jeddah and puts each piece’s screws in a bag carrying its number. In Taif the pieces are assembled in their rooms, and doors and drawers are tried before you sign. Dismantling and reassembling a bedroom starts from SAR 275 when ordered on its own.

Which Taif districts do you deliver to?

Every district of the city: Shihar, Al Faisaliyah, Al Salamah, Nakhb, Al Sadad, Al Aqiq, Jabrah, Al Sharqiyah, Qarwa, Shubra and Al Mathnah, and Al Hawiyah in the north near the airport and the university. We also reach Al Hada and Al Shafa, where the summer houses and rest houses are. On steep or narrow streets the truck stops at the nearest level point and a small vehicle completes the way to the door.

Can I move a single room or just a few pieces?

Yes. A bedroom, a sofa and a fridge, or a handful of cartons are accepted in a shared load with other customers going up to Taif, so you pay only for your own space. The wait here is one to three days until the truck fills. A carton up to 20 kg starts from SAR 87, and a large piece is priced by its volume once packed.

How do you protect furniture on the mountain climb?

In three ways. Loading starts with the heavy items on the floor of the box and at its front, then the lighter ones on top. Each row is strapped to the walls of the box before the next row begins, so no gap is left for a piece to shift on a bend. Glass, marble and screens stand on their edge between mattresses or boards and are never laid flat.

Do you move cars from Jeddah to Taif?

Yes, on a car carrier that uses the truck road, priced on request by the type of car and the date. Many families drive their own car because the distance is short, and book the carrier for a second car or for one they would rather not take up the mountain. For comparison, moving a car on the long line between Jeddah and Riyadh starts from SAR 830.

Do you remove air conditioners and fit them in Taif?

Yes. The technician removes the split unit in Jeddah after pumping the gas down into the outdoor unit, and both units and the pipes are wrapped. Fitting in Taif is agreed in advance, because the pipe length and the position of the outdoor unit differ from one house to another. Many Taif homes need fewer air conditioners than Jeddah because the summer is mild, so ask before you move them all.

Do you offer storage if the Taif house is not ready?

Yes. The furniture is kept in a closed warehouse until the house is ready, the painting is finished or the keys are handed over. A small space starts from SAR 185 a month and the furniture of a whole flat from SAR 600 a month. The furniture goes in packed and numbered on the same list, so it leaves for Taif without a second inventory.

When is the best time to move to Taif?

Midweek days away from the end of the month are easier to book. In summer many people head up to the resort and the entrances are crowded during holidays, so book a week or more ahead. In the Hajj season traffic around Makkah, which the road passes beside, is regulated, so we confirm the available route and time before fixing the day. On rainy and foggy days the climb may be delayed by hours.

Do you also move from Taif to Jeddah?

Yes, with the same service in the downhill direction. The furniture is dismantled and packed in the Taif house, the truck comes down the Al Sail road to Jeddah, and everything is assembled in the flat or villa there. The practical difference is that Jeddah buildings are taller, so we ask about the lift size and the hours when loading is allowed in the building before arriving.

What do I need to do before moving day?

Four things are enough. Empty the fridge and unplug it a day ahead, and clear heavy items out of the wardrobes. Put gold, official papers and medicines in a bag that stays with you. Tell the building guard in Jeddah when the lift is booked. And send the location of the Taif house with a photo of its entrance, so that the driver knows where the truck will stop before he arrives.

Do you ship from Taif or Jeddah to destinations abroad?

Yes, and it is our first speciality. By land to the Gulf and Jordan in closed trucks, by sea from Jeddah Islamic Port, and by air from King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah for urgent pieces and luggage. Air freight starts from SAR 14 per kilogram to the Gulf and SAR 23 to Europe. Whatever is collected in Taif comes down to Jeddah first and then travels.
