New to Jeddah? Here, “hourly maid” and “part-time maid” both describe the same arrangement: a cleaner booked for a set block of time who goes home when the visit ends. Nobody moves in and there is no sponsorship on your side; we are her employer, we keep her iqama in order and we provide the ride.
Who books hourly maids in Al-Bawadi?
Mostly families who need an extra pair of hands for a few hours a week without taking on a live-in helper. Al-Bawadi is a settled, mid-range residential district in north-central Jeddah, lying between King Fahd Road and Madinah Road. Its northern neighbours are An-Nuzhah and As-Salamah, and to the south it meets Ar-Rabwah and Mushrifah. Schools, clinics and shops line its main streets, and a popular local market carries the district’s name.
The mix of housing shapes each visit. In two- and three-bedroom flats, 4 hours is normally enough to finish the kitchen, bathrooms, living room and bedrooms. Two-storey villas, some with an annex or a separate guest room, usually call for a longer 6- to 8-hour booking, or a pair of maids sharing the work. In apartment blocks with shops on the ground floor, dust builds up quickly around entrances and street-facing windows, so mirrors, glass and the floor near the door take a bigger share of the maid’s time.
Many of our Al-Bawadi requests come from households where both parents work and the children are at school. They want a fixed weekly visit that resets the home before the weekend, or an evening visit after office hours. Others regularly host relatives in a guest room so they book a visit ahead of the arrival and a second one once the house empties again.
Hourly maid prices in Al-Bawadi, Jeddah
A 4-hour visit with one maid in Al-Bawadi starts from SAR 138, and this is the option most families choose. The table below shows the options that suit the district’s flats and villas:
| Visit type | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 4-hour visit | A single maid; right for a 2–3 bedroom family flat | 138 |
| 5-hour visit | A large flat with a guest room or separate majlis | 182 |
| Two maids for 4 hours | A two-storey villa, or getting ready for visiting relatives | 296 |
| Extra hour | Extending the visit if a task is still unfinished | 52 |
| Monthly plan: 4 visits of 4 hours | Same weekday each week, all month | 468 |
What you finally pay comes down to how long the visit runs, whether one or two maids come, how big the home is and whether it is a morning or evening slot. Any Friday, holiday or evening surcharge is settled in the booking chat ahead of dispatch, so nothing new appears on the bill afterwards.
How many hours does an Al-Bawadi home need?
In short: a typical flat needs 4 hours, while a villa needs 6 to 8 hours or two maids. Because Al-Bawadi has so many different kinds of homes, use this table to pick a duration before you message us:
| Home type in Al-Bawadi | What can be done | Suggested time |
|---|---|---|
| Two-bedroom flat | Full kitchen, bathroom and bedroom clean with light tidying | 2 to 4 hours |
| Three- or four-bedroom flat | Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living room and laundry | 4 to 5 hours |
| Flat with a guest room | All of the above plus preparing the guest room and changing its linen | 5 hours |
| One floor of a villa | A thorough clean of one floor, including the kitchen and majlis | 6 hours |
| Whole two-storey villa | Every floor, all bathrooms, the kitchen and sitting rooms | 8 hours or two maids |
If the home has not had a proper clean for a while, add an hour or two to the suggested time, because kitchens and bathrooms take longer the first time. After that first visit, a shorter weekly visit is usually enough to keep things under control.
What the maid does during an Al-Bawadi visit
An hourly maid handles the full range of everyday housework: cleaning, tidying, sweeping, mopping, the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and ironing. Here is what she covers in each part of the home:
Living areas and kids’ rooms
Toys gathered into their boxes, cushions and sofas straightened, rugs vacuumed and floors mopped to a shine.
Kitchen and dishes
Plates and pots washed, counters and marble wiped, the outside of the stove cleaned and utensils put away.
Bathrooms
Basins, toilets, floors and nearby wall tiles cleaned, taps and mirrors polished.
Laundry and ironing
Loading the machine and hanging clothes, then folding or ironing them and putting them away as you prefer.
Maids normally work in an order that saves time: the kitchen first, because dishes and counters take longest, then bathrooms, then bedrooms and the living room, finishing with the floors so they do not get dirty again while she works. You can change the order if you have a priority, for example if you need the living room ready for a guest arriving in two hours.
Entrances, mirrors and inside glass
Many Al-Bawadi residents notice how fast dust gathers by the front door and on windows facing busy commercial streets. We suggest setting aside part of the visit for the entrance mirror, the inside of the windows and any glass doors, plus wiping down the shoe rack by the door, so the home feels tidy from the very first step.
What a visit won’t cover: preparing full meals, minding children or elderly relatives alone, climbing to clean outside walls or high spots, and lifting or shifting heavy furniture. It also helps if a woman of the house is home while the maid works.
Tell us flat or villa, how many rooms and when you would like her, and we will lock in an Al-Bawadi slot this week.

If your home gets messy quickly because of children or frequent visitors, a fixed weekly visit is the easier and better-value choice. The monthly plan includes 4 visits of 4 hours each, one per week on a day you choose, from SAR 468. For two visits a week, the 8-visit plan starts from SAR 885 and suits villas and larger homes in Al-Bawadi.
One-off visits suit smaller households, or people who do most of the housework themselves and only need help at certain times: before Eid, after a long trip, or when the person who runs the home is suddenly tied up. There is no monthly commitment with this option; each visit is booked on its own.
The practical difference is that weekly visits keep the home at a steady level, so work never piles up and the maid can go deeper each time: one week focusing on the kitchen and cupboards, the next on bedrooms and linen, and so on.
Move-in and move-out cleaning in Al-Bawadi
Yes, we can send one or two maids to clean a flat before you move in, or after you move out so you can hand it back to the landlord. Al-Bawadi has plenty of rental flats in different sizes, so tenants are often either handing over a flat or collecting the keys to a new one.
For this kind of job the maid cleans the emptied kitchen inside and out, the bathrooms from top to bottom, the floors, the inside of the windows, the doors and the light switches. An empty flat takes more work than a lived-in one, so we suggest either an 8-hour visit (from SAR 274) or a two-maid, 4-hour booking (from SAR 296).
Preparing guest rooms before relatives arrive
Yes, you can book a visit just to get the home ready for guests. This is one of the most common requests we see in Al-Bawadi, especially during school holidays and before Ramadan and Eid, when families prepare to host relatives travelling in from outside Jeddah for a few days.
During this visit the maid dusts the side tables and cupboards in the guest room, changes the linen and makes up fresh beds, cleans the guest bathroom, tidies the majlis and sets out the serving trays and cups. If you are hosting a gathering the same day, she can stay to help serve and then clean up once your guests have gone; for that, 6 hours or two maids works best.
Once the guests leave, the home usually needs another visit to wash the sheets and towels, clean the bathrooms and put the rooms back in order. Many families book both visits at the same time so they get the slots that suit them.
Visit times: mornings during work, or evenings after
You can pick a morning slot or an evening slot to fit your family’s routine. The morning slot works when someone is home in the daytime, and the maid is usually done before the school run ends. Evenings suit working families where nobody is home before the late afternoon.
Billing begins only once she reaches your door; travel time is on us, and so is the ride both ways. Want a different time or a different maid? Drop us a WhatsApp as early as you can, because the more notice we get, the easier the swap.
About the main streets: Al-Bawadi’s commercial streets get busy at peak times. Sending the location pin of your building or villa, with the floor number and a clear landmark for the entrance, helps the driver arrive on time.
Booking a maid in Al-Bawadi, step by step
You book with a WhatsApp message or a call to 0561940026. There is no app to download and no account to create. Here are the steps in order:
Tell us about the home: Al-Bawadi, flat or villa, rooms and bathrooms, plus the jobs on your list.
Pick the slot: hours, one maid or two, which day, and morning or evening.
Receive the confirmation: price and time are confirmed in the chat, along with whether we bring cleaning products.
She arrives: carrying her basic cleaning tools; billing starts at that moment.
Check the home: before the visit ends, walk through what has been done; if something is left, you can add an extra hour.
Is it safer to go through a licensed company?
Yes. Saudi rules make the household, not only the worker, pay for informal arrangements, while a company maid comes with a valid iqama and an employer who answers for her. The Domestic Workers Regulation bars an employer from letting his domestic worker take jobs with other families or freelance. Article 29 sets a fine capped at SAR 20,000, or a recruitment ban lasting as long as 3 years, and repeat cases are doubled.
Separately, the General Directorate of Passports warns that giving work, a lift or a place to stay to someone in breach of residency or labour rules, absconding domestic workers included, can mean 6 months behind bars and a SAR 100,000 fine for each such person. That is why a “freelance cleaner” with nobody standing behind her is a risk at any price.
The regulation also caps a worker’s day at 10 actual working hours, with a break needed after 5 hours in a row at most. It is one reason 4-hour visits dominate: long enough to get a family home done, short enough that the maid is still careful at the end.
Every maid we send holds a valid iqama, has been trained for housework and comes in a modest uniform. You know who is entering your home, and you know exactly who to call if something needs adjusting.
Available nationalities and booking the same maid
Our maids currently come from African countries such as Kenya and Uganda, and from Bangladesh; who is free depends on the date and slot you book. Got a preference? Say so in your message and we will check it against your slot.
If you were happy with a maid on a previous visit, just ask for her next time and we will send her whenever her schedule allows. Many Al-Bawadi families on the weekly plan do exactly this, because the maid already knows how the home is arranged and where things go, so she gets more done in less time.
Getting the home ready for her visit
A few minutes of preparation make the visit far more productive. These are the tips we give our Al-Bawadi customers:
- Write a list of tasks in order of priority: what must be finished first and what can wait if time runs short.
- Put jewellery, important papers and cash in a locked place before the visit.
- Point out delicate surfaces such as light marble or natural wood so the right cleaner is used.
- If you have children, gather small toys into one basket beforehand; it saves tidying time.
- Agree with us when booking whether we bring cleaning products or the maid uses what you have at home.
Tip for working families: for an evening visit, leave a load in the washing machine before you go to work and tell the maid; she can start by hanging it out and then move on to the rest of the home.
