Demand for hourly maids in Al Jazirah, Riyadh rises as the seasons approach, and Gulf Al-Arab Company supplies homes in this east Riyadh district with legally employed maids, usually for 4-hour visits: getting the house ready before Ramadan and Eid, cleaning balconies and terraces, and regular tidying the rest of the year. A visit with one maid is from SAR 138. Phone or WhatsApp 0561940026 to reserve.
For readers new to Riyadh: an hourly or part-time maid is booked by the visit rather than living with you. You choose the hours, she is driven to your door, and she leaves once the booked time is up.

What does Gulf Al-Arab offer homes in Al Jazirah?
We offer Al Jazirah homes hourly cleaning visits that cover all indoor housework, from bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms to floors and majlis rooms, laundry and ironing, and the inside of the windows, with special plans for the busy seasons. The point is to book only the hours you need, without committing to a live-in worker and without spending the days before Ramadan or Eid scrubbing the house yourself.
What sets Al Jazirah apart is that demand peaks at fixed points in the year. In the weeks before Ramadan, people start preparing kitchens and majlis rooms; in the last ten nights they get ready for Eid; and after Eid the house needs putting back together. So this page works like a practical calendar for your Al Jazirah home: when to book, what to ask for in each season, and how to clean a balcony or terrace safely.
Al Jazirah between the Eastern Ring Road and Harun Al Rashid Road: which homes do we serve?
Al Jazirah is an east Riyadh district under the Al Sulay sub-municipality, covering roughly 9.67 km². The Eastern Ring Road runs along its west side with Al Faruq beyond it; Harun Al Rashid Road marks the east, with Al Faiha and Al Sulay; Prince Saad bin Abdulrahman Al Awwal Road lies to the north with Ar Rawabi; and Ibn Al Amid Road lies to the south with An Nur.
The district is described as distinctive, upscale and long-established all at once, with wide tree-lined streets and a mix of villas, flats and duplexes. East Riyadh residents know it for Harun Al Rashid Park and its walkway, Al Jazirah district park, Souq Sharq and Al Rajhi Mosque, as well as the Al Sulay traffic and passports offices and the exhibition grounds, and it is close to IKEA, SACO and Othaim Mall.
That mix of housing means each home’s seasonal needs differ. A flat is usually fine with a 4-hour visit before Ramadan, while a villa with separate men’s and women’s majlis rooms and several balconies may need 8 hours or two maids. The tables below show what suits each type.
A home calendar for Al Jazirah: when should you book, and why?
The best time to book seasonal visits in Al Jazirah is about two weeks ahead, because demand jumps in the final days. This table sums up what the house needs in each period and the visit we suggest:
| Period | What the home needs | Suggested visit |
|---|---|---|
| Two weeks before Ramadan | Kitchen and cupboards cleaned, iftar and suhoor ware and majlis readied | 6 or 8 hours, or two maids |
| During Ramadan | Iftar dishes washed and the majlis tidied after guests | 8- or 12-visit plan |
| The last ten nights | Guest rooms, balconies and entrance readied for Eid | A 6-hour visit a few days before Eid |
| After Eid | Majlis and kitchen restored, table linen washed | A 4- or 5-hour visit |
| Start of summer | Dust cleared from balconies and inside windows | A 4-hour visit |
| Rest of the year | A fixed weekly tidy | 4-visit monthly plan |
About Ramadan timings
Visit times during Ramadan differ from the rest of the year, and the slots available in the morning or after iftar are confirmed at booking. That is why we suggest booking the month’s plan before it begins, so your days are locked in.
A pre-Ramadan preparation plan for Al Jazirah homes
The plan we suggest before Ramadan starts with the kitchen and ends with the majlis, because the kitchen is the busiest room of the holy month. In a single 6-hour visit the maid can get through the following:
- Kitchen cupboards: emptied shelf by shelf, wiped inside and rearranged so iftar and suhoor ware is within reach.
- Hospitality ware: dallah pots, finjan cups, date plates and juice glasses that have not been used for a while, washed and dried.
- Fridge: emptied, shelves wiped and reorganised ready for the Ramadan shopping.
- Majlis rooms: carpets vacuumed, cushions plumped, tables wiped and the serving corner set up.
- Prayer corner: prayer mats and Qurans arranged, shelves wiped and dusted.
- Guest bathroom: cleaned thoroughly, with towels and soap set out.
If your home is a large villa with two majlis rooms, split the plan over two days: the first for the kitchen and pantry, the second for the majlis rooms and guest bedrooms. Or book two maids on one day, one in the kitchen and one in the majlis, and the whole house is done in 4 hours from SAR 296.
Before the maid arrives
Make a list of what you want brought out of the cupboards for Ramadan and what should go up on the high shelves. The maid does not climb tall ladders, so put the high items away yourself, or ask her to organise only what is within her reach.
During Ramadan: how can the maid help without disrupting your day?
During Ramadan, regular visits matter more than big ones, because the house wears down day by day from iftar meals and guests. The 8-visit monthly plan, two 4-hour visits a week, is from SAR 885 and suits most homes. A household where relatives break the fast every evening may prefer the 12-visit plan from SAR 1,325, which brings the maid three times a week.
In Ramadan the maid focuses on what piles up: last night’s iftar dishes, the majlis after guests, the kitchen and living room floors, and the laundry. She does not cook iftar, since full cooking is outside the visit, but she can help lay out and serve hospitality if your visit falls during a gathering.
Getting ready for Eid, and the clean-up after
A few days before Eid the house needs its finishing touches: guest rooms made up with fresh sheets, a tidy entrance, dust-free balconies and gleaming bathrooms. A 6-hour visit from SAR 204 usually covers a large flat or one floor of a villa. After Eid, once the stream of visitors ends, comes the reset visit: table linen washed and ironed, majlis rooms put straight, and serving ware washed and returned to the cupboards.
We recommend booking the after-Eid visit in the same message as the pre-Eid one, because the days after Eid are in heavy demand and those who book early get the day they want.

The maid cleans balconies and terraces from the inside, reaching only what she can while standing on the balcony floor, without leaning out or climbing on anything. We keep to that limit in every home, because dangerous work, heights and exterior facades are outside the visit.
In a district like Al Jazirah with its tree-lined streets, balconies collect dust and fallen leaves and need cleaning more than once a season. Here is what the maid can do:
Floor
Leaves and sand swept up, then the tiles mopped with a damp mop, without hosing.
Glass and door
The balcony door glass cleaned from the inside, and the bottom track of a sliding door wiped where dust collects.
Railing
The inner side of the railing wiped with a damp then a dry cloth.
Furniture and pots
Balcony chairs and table wiped, and dust cleared from the outside of plant pots.
Limits of balcony cleaning
The maid does not clean outer glass if it means leaning out of the balcony, does not clean facades, does not stand on chairs or tall ladders, and does not hose down roofs or large courtyards. Those jobs need specialist providers.
How many hours does each type of Al Jazirah home need before a season?
Before Ramadan or Eid, an Al Jazirah home needs longer than a normal visit, because the maid empties cupboards and readies serving ware and guest rooms on top of the usual cleaning. A two- or three-bedroom flat is usually fine with 4 or 5 hours, starting in the kitchen and finishing in the majlis. A duplex mostly needs about 6 hours, since the work is spread over two floors with an inside staircase to mop.
A villa with a men’s majlis, a women’s majlis, guest rooms and balconies is where one maid versus two really matters. One maid for 8 hours, from SAR 234, gets through it in a long day; two maids for 4 hours, from SAR 296, finish in half the time, which suits families who do not want the house in cleaning mode all day. If time is short before Eid, two maids are better because the work is done before visitors arrive.
You do not have to decide alone: send us photos or a description of your home and we will suggest the hours we think fit, while the final say stays with you.

What is outside an hourly maid’s visit?
The visit is for indoor housework. It does not cover full cooking, minding children or elderly relatives on their own, dangerous tasks, heights or exterior facades, shifting heavy furniture, hosing large courtyards, or pools and gardens. We would rather a lady of the household stayed home for the visit.
Around the seasons in particular, some people ask the maid to take down heavy curtains or clean high chandeliers. Those are jobs at height, and we do not assign them, for her safety and your home’s.
The maids, the schedule and the rules
Our maids in Al Jazirah hold valid iqamas, are trained and wear modest dress. The hourly cleaners in Al Jazirah we place are East African (Kenyan or Ugandan, for instance) or Bangladeshi, and who is free depends on your booking date. You can ask for the same maid for all your seasonal visits if she is available, which helps because she learns how your home is arranged from the first visit.
- Morning and evening visits are offered; your hours start once she is inside the house.
- We drive the maid to Al Jazirah and back, so you need no driver.
- She comes with basic cleaning tools, and cleaning products are whatever you agree when booking.
- Changing the time or the maid is done over WhatsApp, well before the visit.
Legally, providing domestic workers to other households is reserved for companies licensed by MHRSD. The Domestic Workers Regulation punishes letting your own domestic worker work for others with a maximum fine of SAR 20,000 or a recruitment ban lasting no more than 3 years, and the General Directorate of Passports sets jail of up to 6 months and fines as high as SAR 100,000 for employing or sheltering violators. In the busy seasons, when offers multiply, book only with a legal provider.
