Obhur North: why its villas need a different cleaning plan
Obhur North villas need their own plan because they are larger than most Jeddah homes, and many have a pool, sea-facing seating and wide glass frontages. The district sits in Jeddah’s far north on the northern side of Sharm Obhur, with plenty of beaches and resorts and relatively large residential plots, so villas with several floors, annexes and separate guest suites are common.
That space means a four-hour visit may cover only part of a villa, which is why most Obhur North residents book eight hours or two maids. And because the district is far from central Jeddah, booking ahead matters more here than anywhere: we schedule Obhur North visits at least a day in advance so the maid arrives at the start of your slot.
Alongside the villas there are newer apartment buildings, and the area is also home to students and staff at nearby colleges and facilities. This page focuses on villa owners: how to split a villa into hours, what the maid cleans around the pool and what she leaves alone, how guest rooms are prepared before family visits, and how to reopen a house that has been shut for months.
What does an hourly maid cost for an Obhur North villa?
An hourly maid for an Obhur North villa costs from SAR 274 for eight hours with one maid, and from SAR 296 for two maids together for four hours. The options below are ordered by what residents book most:
| Visit type | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Two maids for four hours | The whole villa in half a day, ideal before guests | 296 |
| Eight hours, one maid | Two-floor villa including indoor seating areas and laundry room | 274 |
| Six hours, one maid | Mid-size villa or one floor plus guest rooms | 204 |
| Hour added as needed | When a job takes longer than expected | 52 |
| Eight-visit plan | Two visits a week, four hours each | 885 |
The final amount depends on villa size, the number of maids, the hours and the slot. If you choose an evening, a Friday or a holiday, any extra charge is stated in our confirmation message before the visit, so there are no surprises at payment. For arrangements not in the table, such as three maids for a three-floor villa, ask about the price on WhatsApp.
You do not pay for the drive
Obhur North is a long way from the city centre, but your paid time begins only at your front door; getting there is our job.
Hourly visit, monthly plan or live-in maid? A comparison for villa owners
Hourly visits and monthly plans are what we offer. Live-in employment is another system entirely and not something we arrange; it appears here for comparison only, because many villa owners ask about it:
| Option | How it works | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Single hourly visit | Booked when needed for a set number of hours; the maid leaves afterwards | Anyone needing a clean before an occasion or after travel |
| Monthly hourly plan | 4, 8 or 12 visits a month, four hours each, on fixed days | Families wanting a tidy home all week without housing anyone |
| Live-in maid (comparison only) | Recruitment, accommodation, residency and sponsor duties on the householder | A different route outside our services |
Many Obhur North families find the 8-visit plan gives them the regular presence they need without a maid’s room or recruitment paperwork. If you need more, the 12-visit plan, three visits a week, starts from SAR 1,325.

Book nowWhatsApp 0561940026CallSliding glass doors and the pool: what the maid cleans and what she leaves
The maid cleans the sliding glass doors facing the pool from the inside and clears sand, leaves and dust from their tracks, but she does not clean the pool itself. Door tracks in Obhur North villas fill quickly with sand blown in from the beach, and leaving them makes doors heavy and wears out the rollers. So she kneels at the track, clears it with a small brush and handheld vacuum, then wipes the glass until it reflects the water clearly.
The pool and its equipment, water tanks, roofs and exterior facades are all outside the service, because they need technicians and specialist equipment and some are dangerous for the maid. She can, however, wipe ground-level seating by the pool, arrange its cushions, and clean the pool bathroom if it is inside or attached to the villa.
Safety around the pool
Please do not ask the maid to stand on the pool edge or clean wet tiles around it while it is in use. Those floors are slippery; a pool specialist is the right choice there.
Hourly guest room preparation in Obhur North
Yes, the maid prepares guest rooms before family visits, a common request in Obhur North where many families host relatives from other cities for a few days by the sea. She dusts furniture and inside windows, changes the bedding, places freshly folded towels at the foot of the bed, cleans the en-suite bathroom, and if you wish, leaves a bottle of water and a glass on the bedside table.
Before guests arrive
Clean bedding, folded towels, a gleaming bathroom and an empty wardrobe.
During the stay
A short visit to swap towels, wash up and tidy the lounge.
After they leave
Bedding and towels washed, room aired and reset.
Guests from out of town
We suggest booking all three visits together at the start.
If you have more than one guest room, allow about an hour per room in a long visit, plus an hour for the kitchen and majlis that guests see first.
Reopening a closed villa in Obhur North
Some Obhur North villas stay shut for weeks or months, either as holiday homes or because the owners travel. On return a villa needs a long visit of eight hours or two maids, because dust and damp build up even with windows closed, unused bathrooms need a full clean, and stored bedding needs washing before anyone sleeps in it.
Our suggested order for a reopening visit: air every room first, dust from top to bottom, then bathrooms and kitchen, and floors last, with the washing machine running throughout. If you arrive in the evening, book the visit for that morning, as long as a family member or someone you trust can let the maid in.
Before you close up
Book a closing visit before you travel: fridge emptied and wiped outside, bedding washed, furniture covered. The reopening visit will then be shorter and cost less.
What a maid’s visit covers in Obhur North villas
The visit covers all normal housework inside the villa. It does not cover full cooking, sole care of children or elderly relatives, hazardous work or moving heavy furniture.
- Sweeping and mopping floors, corridors and stairs.
- Counters wiped and every dish washed and shelved.
- Every bathroom, guest bathrooms included.
- Washing, ironing and folding.
- Window and door glass from the inside.
- Vacuuming the majlis and rugs.
- Hospitality set-up, serving at gatherings and clearing up after.
- Getting the house ready for Ramadan and Eid.
- Cleaning before move-in or after move-out.
The maid carries basic cleaning tools, and we agree the cleaning products at booking. For villas with premium surfaces such as natural marble or polished wood, it is best to provide the products recommended by your furniture or flooring supplier. Ideally a woman of the family is somewhere in the villa while she works.
Ramadan, Eid and long family stays in Obhur North
During Ramadan and the two Eids, Obhur North villas become open houses, often hosting whole families for days. We suggest three stages: a long visit a week before for the kitchen, large serving ware and guest rooms; short, frequent visits during the season to keep the majlis, kitchen and bathrooms in order; and a final visit after guests leave to wash bedding and reset rooms. Ramadan gatherings run late, so the next morning is the best time to clear the majlis. Book before the last ten nights, when coastal and outlying slots fill up.
Morning or evening in Obhur North?
The morning shift suits most Obhur North villas: daylight helps show dust on glass and surfaces, and a big villa needs a working day that starts early. The drive to the far north is also lighter in the morning than on a weekend evening. The evening shift suits owners who are out in the morning and want to be present during the visit.
During Ramadan both shifts move with the fasting hours, and the exact window is sent with your booking. Whatever the slot, her hours only begin once she is inside, so if the car is delayed for any reason you lose none of your visit time.
Legally employed maids in Obhur North, and why it matters to you
The maids we send to Obhur North work legally, hold current iqamas, are trained in home cleaning and keep to a modest uniform. The Domestic Workers Regulation, published in Umm Al-Qura, states that a sponsor who lets their domestic worker work for someone else faces a fine not exceeding SAR 20,000 or a suspension of recruitment of up to three years.
Jawazat also warns that sheltering, employing or transporting residency and labour violators, domestic workers among them, can bring as long as half a year in jail plus fines reaching SAR 100,000, multiplied by the number of violators. Our maids are African women from Kenya and Uganda, and Bangladeshi women; availability depends on the booking day, and you can ask again for a maid you liked whenever she is free.
