  • Packing with bubble wrap, stretch film, heavy cartons, wardrobe boxes and foam, with every box labelled by room
  • Furniture dismantling and reassembly for beds, wardrobes and modular furniture
  • Appliances and electronics disconnected, moved and reconnected, including TV wall mounts and lighting
  • Transport in clean, padded, GPS-tracked trucks

By apartment size

Apartment Moving Services by Apartment Size

Every apartment size needs a different crew, plan and timeline. We prepare an individual move plan based on your layout, floor, lift access and number of items — this is how we move each size.

Studio and 1BHK Apartment Movers

Studio and 1BHK moves suit professionals, couples, students and tenants moving between towers or communities such as JVC, Business Bay, Al Nahda and Dubai Marina. They may look simple, but they still need care: we pack furniture, appliances, clothes and kitchenware with the right boxes and padding. A 1BHK move usually takes 4–6 hours, depending on the floor, the amount of furniture and the distance.

What we move: beds, mattresses, wardrobes, sofas, TV units, dining tables and shoe racks; fridge, washing machine and microwave; smart TVs, routers, laptops and gaming consoles; clothes, linens, home-office desks and fitness gear.

2BHK Apartment Movers

2BHK moves are for couples, small families and roommates. A larger crew speeds up the work: we label boxes by room, dismantle beds and wardrobes and wrap them in protective material, then plan lift slots and access for both buildings — for example a move from a Dubai Marina high-rise to a townhouse in Al Barsha. A 2BHK move typically takes 5–8 hours, depending on distance and inventory.

What we move: king and queen beds, wardrobes, dining sets, sofas and dressers; washing machines, fridges, ovens, dishwashers and coffee machines; home cinemas, monitors and game stations; paintings, mirrors, ceramics and glassware.

3BHK Apartment Movers

3BHK moves involve higher volumes, larger furniture and more complex layouts — children's items, home offices and full family kitchens. Our 3BHK teams dismantle modular beds and wardrobes, pack each room separately and reassemble everything at your new home, whether you live in a high-rise, a serviced apartment or a gated community. A full 3BHK move usually takes 6–10 hours.

What we move: sectional sofas, vanity units and dressers; desktop computers and sound systems; dishwashers and double-door fridges; chandeliers, framed pictures and vases; seasonal clothing, toys, books and fitness equipment.

4BHK and Larger Apartment Movers

4BHK apartments and penthouses need strategy as well as manpower. We survey the apartment first, assign a dedicated move coordinator and often split the move into organised stages over one or several days, with a detailed inventory record. It suits large families, executives and households moving from a villa into an apartment — in Dubai Hills Estate, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai and other prime communities.

What we move: full bedroom sets, recliners and balcony furniture; double-door fridges, induction hobs and washing machines; children's study tables and home-office units; crystal chandeliers, designer lighting and glass décor; seasonal goods and souvenirs — every box labelled by room.

Move permits

How Do You Get a Move Permit for a Dubai Apartment?

Most Dubai towers won't let a moving truck in without a move-in or move-out permit, and each master developer runs its own process. Apply in the resident's name, then share the approval with your movers.

Three things that stop apartment moves at the lobby:

  • Unpaid service charges. Emaar, Nakheel and Dubai Properties won't issue a permit while charges on the unit are outstanding — and they are usually the owner's charges, not yours. Ask your landlord to confirm they are cleared before you fix a date.
  • A permit without a lift booking. In many towers the move permit and the service-lift slot are separate approvals. Get the lift time in writing too.
  • Missing mover documents. Many forms ask for the moving company's name, trade licence, truck details or supervisor's number — get them from your mover before you apply.
Sakani / Emaar One

Emaar communities

Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina (Emaar towers), The Greens, The Views, Dubai Creek Harbour. Tenants usually upload Ejari, Emirates ID and passport with visa page.

My Nakheel

Nakheel communities

JVC, Al Furjan, Discovery Gardens, International City, Palm Jumeirah. Log in with UAE Pass; expect to add Ejari, Emirates ID, vehicle details and the mover's trade licence. Apply at least a day or two ahead.

RealConnect

Dubai Properties communities

JBR, Business Bay (DP towers), Mudon, Remraam. Moves are generally allowed Saturday to Thursday, 8am to 7pm, once all community fees are paid.

Building management

Independent towers

Many towers in JLT, Business Bay, Al Barsha and Deira are run by their own building or owners' association management. Ask for the form, any building fee and the refundable lift or damage deposit.

Moving out

How Do You Get Your Security Deposit Back When You Leave a Dubai Apartment?

Most deductions come from small things on the last day. Use this list in the week before your move-out date.

Before the movers come

  • Photograph every room, wall and appliance
  • Book the move-out permit and service lift
  • Ask your landlord which fittings stay (curtains, AC units, lights)
  • Request the DEWA final reading for your last day

After the last box leaves

  • Fill holes from TV and shelf brackets
  • Deep clean the kitchen, bathrooms and AC grilles
  • Do a joint inspection with the landlord or agent
  • Hand back keys and access cards against a signed receipt

Details that cost tenants money

Who keeps the keys

Return keys and access cards to the landlord or their agent and ask for a signed handover receipt. Leaving them with building security gives you no proof of the date you handed the apartment back.

DEWA final bill

Close your DEWA account for your move-out date and settle the final bill — your DEWA deposit is refunded only after that. At the new apartment, DEWA can only connect once the previous tenant's account has been closed.

Ejari

Cancel or let your landlord cancel the old Ejari when the tenancy ends, so you can register the new one without a clash.

Wear and tear vs damage

Normal wear and tear shouldn't be charged; holes, stains and broken fittings usually are. Your move-in photos and the tenancy contract are your evidence if there's a dispute, which goes to the Rental Disputes Centre.

How it works

How Does Our Apartment Moving Process Work?

Our apartment moving process is open and time-tested, from your free survey to after-move support.

  1. 01

    Free Survey and Fixed Quote

    We visit your apartment (or survey it by video), check the inventory and floor access, and give you a fixed, detailed quote.

  2. 02

    Packing and Inventory

    The crew arrives with double-wall cartons, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap and foam, packs fragile items first, and labels and numbers every box by room. The inventory record is shared with you, and screws and fittings are bagged and labelled with each piece of furniture.

  3. 03

    Safe Transport and GPS Tracking

    Your goods travel in clean, padded, GPS-tracked trucks, with furniture secured by blankets and belts.

  4. 04

    Delivery and Reassembly

    At your new apartment we check the box count against the inventory with you, reassemble the furniture with its own fittings, and reconnect appliances. Curtains, décor and unpacking are done if you booked them.

  5. 05

    Final Walkthrough

    We walk through the apartment with you — every room, cupboard and balcony at the old flat, every piece placed at the new one — before the crew leaves.

  6. 06

    Post-Move Assistance

    Your move coordinator stays your contact after the move. If anything is damaged, report it in writing with photos within 48 hours of delivery and your coordinator reviews it.

Apartment Movers Across Dubai and the UAE

We move apartments in every Dubai community — including Business Bay, JVC, The Greens, Bur Dubai and Dubai South — and between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.

FAQs About Apartment Movers in Dubai

How long does an apartment move take in Dubai?

A 1BHK move usually takes 4–6 hours, a 2BHK 5–8 hours and a 3BHK 6–10 hours. 4BHK apartments and penthouses are often moved in organised stages over one or more days. Floor level, lift access, inventory and distance all affect the time.

How much does it cost to move an apartment in Dubai?

The cost depends on the apartment size, the amount of furniture, floor and lift access, the distance and extra services such as packing, storage or appliance installation. We give you a fixed, itemised quote after a free survey. See our apartment moving cost guide for what affects the price.

Do I need to arrange building permits or lift access?

The move permit is issued in the resident's name, so you (or your landlord) apply for it — we send you our trade licence, truck and crew details for the form and guide you through it. We then coordinate the service-lift slot, loading bay and timing with building management at both apartments.

Do you bring packing materials?

Yes. Our movers bring cartons, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, stretch film, foam, tape and blankets, and pack everything for you.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes. We dismantle beds, wardrobes and modular furniture and reassemble them at your new apartment at no extra cost.

Can you uninstall and reinstall TVs, AC units and appliances?

TV wall mounts, washing machines and dishwashers, yes — they are disconnected, moved and reconnected at your new home. For split AC units, ask us at the survey and we will tell you what we can arrange.

Can you move on weekends, holidays or at short notice?

Yes. We work 7 days a week, including Fridays and public holidays, and handle same-day or next-day moves when available. A small surcharge applies to urgent or off-hour moves, and it is shown in your quote.

How far in advance should I book apartment movers?

About a week ahead, or 1–2 weeks for month-end and summer moves, when leases end and lift slots are scarce. Urgent moves within 24–48 hours are possible when crews are available.

Can you handle fragile and high-value items?

Yes. Paintings, electronics, TVs and mirrors are packed in padded cases and crates, labelled and handled with priority.

Do you offer storage if my new apartment isn't ready?

Yes. We offer short-term and long-term storage in secure, climate-controlled, CCTV-monitored facilities in the UAE.

Is assembling new flat-pack furniture included?

Dismantling and reassembling the furniture we move is included. Assembling new or flat-pack furniture you have bought is an add-on — tell us at the survey and it goes on your quote.

How do I know nothing was left behind or lost?

Every box is labelled by room and numbered, and the inventory is shared with you. At delivery we check the box count with you, and the crew does a final walk-through of both apartments before leaving.
