Makkah
Packing and wrapping in Makkah
In Makkah furniture is often carried down long, winding stairs, a short way along a narrow street, or lifted by crane — and each of these raises the risk of scratches and breakage if things aren’t wrapped well. Tight wrapping also protects against dust and heat while things wait in the truck.
Packing for Makkah moves
Furniture is wrapped in film and blankets, glass and screens in bubble wrap, and your things go in strong boxes that won’t tear on the stairs. Heavy pieces like wooden wardrobes get corner protectors. If you’re moving to Jeddah or from Riyadh, ask for stronger wrapping for the road.
You can pack small items yourself and leave furniture and glass to the crew, which lowers the cost. Read about packing.
What helps the company price the packing
- The number of rooms and the size of the kitchen.
- Full packing, or furniture and glass only.
- Where it’s going: within Makkah, another city, or storage.
- Delicate pieces such as chandeliers, mirrors and ornaments.
FAQ
Can packing happen before moving day?
Yes, and it helps in large homes or before the seasons. Agree one day for packing and another for the move.
Does the company supply boxes?
Many include them in the offer. Ask about the type and number so you can compare offers fairly.
How should Qur’ans and books be packed?
In small boxes so they aren’t too heavy, with clean paper between books, clearly labelled so they’re handled with care.
