Makkah
Home and apartment moving within Makkah
Moving within Makkah needs a company that knows the city well: which streets a large truck can enter, which districts the seasons affect, and when the roads are lighter. A move from an older district near the centre to a newer one on the edge can be easy on a normal day and very hard at peak times.
What makes moving within Makkah different?
Mountainous terrain means steep streets and long staircases in some buildings, so heavy furniture needs more crew or a crane. Narrow streets in older districts may need a smaller vehicle or extra trips. Describing the street and entrance in the request helps the company estimate time and cost accurately.
Choose a date away from the seasons if you can, and ask the company about restrictions in your district. Read about home moving.

- Pack a bag of essentials for your first night in the new home.
FAQ
Can I move during Ramadan?
Yes for most of the month, but the city is very busy in the last ten days. Some companies work at night during Ramadan — ask.
Does a narrow street mean more trips?
It can, if a large truck can’t get in. Mention it in the request so the offer is accurate.
Does the move include the AC units?
Not always. Choose AC removal and reinstallation among the extras so it’s priced in.
