Hourly maids in Obhur South: chalets, villas and flats on the creek
Obhur South is in Jeddah’s far north on the southern bank of Sharm Obhur, the creek, with beaches, resorts and chalets alongside villas and apartment buildings. That mix makes demand for hourly maids different from central Jeddah: much of it follows weekends and holidays, when families open up their chalets or host relatives in homes by the water.
At the same time, families live in the district year-round in flats and villas, and they need an ordinary weekly visit like anywhere else, with extra attention to sand brought in on feet and the humidity carried by sea air. So this page has two halves: what a chalet or holiday-home owner needs, and what a permanent resident needs, followed by the prices, limits and booking steps they share.
Home sizes vary a lot here: a two-bedroom chalet with a lounge opening onto the sea, a two-floor villa with a pool, a flat in a newer building near the beach. Each has a suitable visit length, shown in the tables below, so you neither pay for hours you do not need nor run out of time before the job is done.

For a special arrangement, such as two visits in the same break, ask about its price on WhatsApp.
Working hours, not driving hours
The distance to Obhur is not charged to you. Visit hours start when the maid reaches your door, and the company car handles the trip there and back.
Getting the chalet ready, and resetting it after you leave
The best plan for a chalet owner in Obhur South is two visits: one a day or a few hours before you arrive, and one after you leave. The first clears dust and damp that built up while the place was shut and makes up beds and towels; the second puts things right after a stay full of sand, dishes and wet towels. Here is what each stage covers:
| When | What the maid does | Suggested length |
|---|---|---|
| Before arrival | Airing the place, wiping surfaces and floors, making beds, setting out towels, bathrooms and kitchen | Four hours |
| Middle of a long stay | Washing up, sweeping sand, swapping towels, tidying the lounge | Two or four hours |
| After departure | Bedding and beach towels washed, kitchen and fridge exterior cleaned, outdoor seating wiped | Five or six hours |
| After a big gathering | Dishes collected, majlis, seating area and bathrooms cleaned | Two maids for four hours |
If you would rather not be there for the after-departure visit, ask a family member or someone you trust to let the maid in, since we like a lady of the family to be on hand. You can also book it for the morning of your last day, so the maid works while you pack.

Cleaning a coastal home starts with the sand, because mopping before it is removed spreads it and scratches the tiles. The maid vacuums or sweeps first at the entrance, the sliding doors and under the sofas, then mops. She brushes out the sliding door tracks, as sand packed in them makes doors heavy and wears out their rollers over time.
Salt carried on the sea breeze leaves a dull film on glass, mirrors and metal such as door handles and taps. She wipes it with a damp cloth and dries it with a clean one so no water spots remain. In bathrooms and kitchens she pays attention to places that hold moisture: grout lines, basin edges and the bases of sanitary fittings.
At the entrance
Sand swept first, before any mopping, and mats shaken out.
Sliding doors
Track brushed out, then glass wiped from the inside.
Metal and taps
Salt film wiped off and dried with a dry cloth.
Bathrooms
Grout and basin edges before they darken.
Hourly outdoor terrace cleaning in Obhur South
Yes, the maid cleans ground-level outdoor seating at a chalet or villa as part of the visit: tables and chairs wiped clear of salt and damp, sand swept off the terrace floor, outdoor cushions shaken and arranged. It is one of the most frequent requests from Obhur South chalet owners, because the seating area facing the water is the heart of the place on holiday.

There are clear limits for her safety: no exterior facades, roofs or high places, and no pools, boats or jetties. If the terrace is in full sun, early morning or evening visits are best so she is not working through the hottest hours.
About outdoor furniture
Heavy chairs and large umbrellas are not moved or set up during the visit. Move them beforehand if you want the floor beneath cleaned.
Hourly beach towel laundry in Obhur South
After a day on the beach a chalet fills with towels and swimwear wet with salt water, and the maid can wash, dry and fold them in the same visit. She shakes the sand off outside first, rinses or washes as instructed, separates coloured towels from white ones, and folds the clean ones into a basket ready for next time.

- Sand shaken off outside before washing so it does not clog the machine.
- Swimwear washed in cold water to protect the fabric.
- Towels dried thoroughly before storing so they do not smell musty.
- A basket of clean towels left ready for the next visit.
A tip for chalet owners
Keep two permanent baskets in the chalet, one for used towels and one for clean, so the maid knows where to start and where finished items go.
Living in Obhur South all year: the regular weekly visit
Families who live permanently in Obhur South flats and villas do best with a fixed weekly visit, most often four hours with one maid. The 4-visit monthly plan, one visit a week, starts from SAR 468 and covers cleaning, tidying and laundry each time as you direct. A small flat may need only a two-hour visit, from SAR 92.
The visit covers all normal housework: sweeping and mopping, kitchen and dishes, bathrooms, washing and ironing, inside window glass, and vacuuming the majlis and rugs. For Ramadan and Eid you can book a longer visit to prepare for guests and clean up afterwards. The maid brings basic cleaning tools, with products as agreed at booking.
Service limits in chalets and coastal homes
The hourly maid handles housework; she does not cook full meals, take sole care of children or elderly relatives, do hazardous work or move heavy furniture. Chalets bring some requests that sound ordinary but fall outside the service, so it is worth knowing them before you book:
- Watching children on the beach or in the pool.
- Preparing a barbecue or cooking for guests.
- Cleaning the pool, boat or jetty.
- Going up on the roof or cleaning facade glass from outside.
- Moving heavy furniture or putting up large umbrellas.
What she can do is set out hospitality, serve during the gathering, then wash up and tidy afterwards, which covers most family get-togethers at a chalet.
Distance and timing: reaching Obhur South on schedule
Obhur South is one of Jeddah’s most northerly districts, so we plan its bookings in advance rather than as urgent call-outs. Book a day or more ahead, especially for Friday mornings or holidays when the road to the northern beaches gets busy. The maid comes in the morning or evening slot you choose, and the clock starts when she arrives, not when she leaves our office.
Send us an exact map pin for the chalet or home, the resort or compound name if it is inside a gated complex, and the chalet number. Those small details save a lot of time, since neighbouring chalets often have near-identical entrances.
Obhur seasons: summer, school breaks and Ramadan
Demand in Obhur South shifts with the seasons more than anywhere else in Jeddah. In summer and school holidays the chalets fill up and after-departure cleans dominate, since many families rotate through the same chalet week after week; a fixed visit on changeover day means the next group walks into a ready place. In the milder winter months weekend gatherings increase, and with them terrace cleaning and hospitality set-up. In Ramadan chalet evenings move to after iftar, so the maid comes before iftar to prepare or the next morning to clear up. Coastal slots fill first, so book early in every season.
Only legally employed maids at your chalet or home
We send legally employed maids to Obhur South, with current iqamas, training and a modest work uniform, because legal responsibility does not rest on the worker alone. The Domestic Workers Regulation in Umm Al-Qura penalises a sponsor who lets their domestic worker work for others with a fine of at most SAR 20,000 or a recruitment ban of no more than three years, doubled for repeat cases.
Jawazat warns that employing, housing or transporting anyone in breach of residency and labour rules, domestic workers included, can mean up to six months in prison and up to SAR 100,000 per violator. So do not take on a worker offered at the beach or resort without a legal employer behind her. Our maids are Kenyan and Ugandan from Africa, and Bangladeshi; availability changes and is confirmed at booking, and you can ask for the same maid again when she is free.
