Packing and wrapping in Madinah
Madinah’s dry air and occasional dust make wrapping important even on a short move — upholstered furniture and mattresses get dirty quickly if left uncovered in the truck. Packing matters more if you’re moving to another city or putting things in storage until the new home is ready.
Packing for Madinah moves
Within Madinah, film and blankets for furniture, bubble wrap for glass and electronics, and boxes for your things are usually enough. For a move to Jeddah or Riyadh you need strong new boxes and corner protection, because things shake for hours on the long road.
You can pack small items yourself and leave furniture and glass to the crew. Read about packing and the guide to packing fragile items.
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 Madinah, another city, or storage.
- Delicate pieces such as chandeliers, mirrors and ornaments.
FAQ
Should carpets and soft furnishings be wrapped?
Yes — carpets are cleaned, rolled and wrapped in film so dust can’t get in, never folded so they don’t crease. Bedding and curtains go in clean bags inside boxes.
Does packing differ if the new home is near the central area?
Things may have to be carried further from where the truck can stop, so ask for wrapping that copes with carrying and corridors, and boxes small enough to carry by hand.
What should I keep with me?
Documents, gold, cash and medicines — keep them in a small bag that stays with you on moving day.
