Hourly maids from Gulf Al-Arab Company reach Al Manakh in south Riyadh to clean studios, flats and villas. A 4-hour visit starts from SAR 138 for one maid, and a short 2-hour visit for small units starts from SAR 92. “Hourly” simply means a booked visit of fixed length, with no live-in arrangement. The visit focuses on what gets dirty first in Al Manakh homes, the entrance, shoe area and floors, alongside the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and ironing. Call or WhatsApp 0561940026 to book.

Do hourly maids come to Al Manakh, Riyadh?
Yes, we serve Al Manakh with morning and evening visits, and the company takes the maid there and back. Al Manakh is a south Riyadh district under the As Sulay sub-municipality; property portals list it in the south, while some people see it as closer to the south-east. It has residential streets such as Khalil Muhammad Khalil Street and Ahmed bin Ali Al Muhairithi Street, and mixes villas, flats, studios and rest houses.
That variety means every home has very different needs: a studio for a couple needs two hours, while a family villa may need six hours or two maids. So we do not suggest one length for the whole district; we ask about your home type and number of rooms and then recommend what fits. Some streets may not be known to the driver by name, so send your location on WhatsApp when booking.
From studio to villa: how many hours does your Al Manakh home need?
The length follows the size of the home, how many people live there and how regularly it is cleaned. Here is a rough guide for the home types found in Al Manakh:
Suggested hours by home type in Al Manakh:
| Home type | What the maid gets done | Suggested length |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | Tidying the space, a small kitchen, bathroom and floor | 2 hours |
| Two-room unit | Two rooms, a small lounge, kitchen, bathroom and laundry | 2 to 4 hours |
| Three-bedroom family flat | Rooms, living room, kitchen, bathrooms and ironing | 4 hours |
| Two-floor villa | Both floors, majlis, stairs, entrance and floors | 6 hours or two maids |
| Indoor rooms of a rest house | Closed rooms, bathrooms and the indoor kitchen | 4 hours, depending on size |
In small units a 2-hour visit can become a light weekly routine. In villas we recommend a longer first visit, since it tackles build-up, and shorter visits afterwards once they are regular.
Why does the entrance get dirty first in Al Manakh homes, and how does the maid tidy it?
Because the entrance is the only crossing point between street and home, it takes everything shoes bring in: dust and sand. Parts of the As Sulay sub-municipality have warehouses and workshops, and traffic on surrounding roads kicks up dust, so it reaches the doorstep and entrance floor before anywhere else. If the entrance is not cleaned often, dust travels with every step into the living room and bedrooms.
The maid starts by taking the shoes off the rack, wiping the rack and putting the shoes back in order, then cleans the inside of the doorstep, wipes the door and handle, shakes out or vacuums the doormat, and mops the entrance and the corridor leading to the living room. If you have a cupboard for abayas and shemaghs near the door, she tidies that too. These few minutes at the start or end of the visit keep the whole house cleaner for longer.
Tip: Use two doormats, one outside and one inside, and keep a spot for shoes before the living room. It noticeably reduces the dust carried into the rooms.
How much is an hourly maid in Al Manakh?
In Al Manakh a 2-hour visit starts from SAR 92, a 4-hour visit from SAR 138 and a 6-hour visit from SAR 204. The amount you pay shifts with the hours, the number of maids, the size of your home and the shift; anything you cannot find in the table, ask about on WhatsApp.
For the mix of homes in Al Manakh we chose these prices:
| Visit type | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 2-hour visit | A studio or small unit, or tidying the entrance and lounge before a guest | 92 |
| 4-hour visit | A full family flat, with kitchen and bathrooms | 138 |
| 6-hour visit | A villa or large floor, with floors and majlis | 204 |
| Two maids for 4 hours | A two-floor villa in less time | 296 |
| 4 visits × 4 hours | A fixed weekly visit for flats and floors | 468 |
If you would like two short visits a week for a small unit, ask us on WhatsApp how to arrange it. For flats and villas, the weekly package or the twice-weekly package from SAR 885 works best.
Book your visit in Al Manakh
Tell us your home type and number of rooms, and we will suggest 2 hours, 4 hours or more to suit it.
Mopping floors by type: what suits the floor in your home?
Each floor is mopped in the way that suits it, and the maid asks about your flooring before starting. Porcelain and ceramic handle water well and are mopped with a regular cleaner, then dried; marble needs less water and gentle products so it keeps its shine; wooden or parquet floors are wiped with a slightly damp mop, never a wet one; and rugs and fitted carpet are vacuumed.
Porcelain and ceramic
Sweep first, then mop with water and cleaner, then dry, with care for the grout near the kitchen.
Marble
Little water and a gentle cleaner, dried quickly so no spots remain and it keeps its shine.
Wood and parquet
A slightly damp mop, with no pooled water that could seep into the joints.
Rugs and carpet
Vacuumed on both sides where possible, lifting the edges to clean underneath.
Order matters too: floors are mopped at the end of the visit, after dusting surfaces and tidying rooms, and the maid starts from the room furthest from the entrance and works towards it so she never walks on a mopped floor. In homes with children or elderly relatives we make sure the floor is dried well to prevent slips.
The 2-hour visit: when is it enough in Al Manakh?
Two hours are enough for a studio or small unit, or for one specific job in a bigger home, such as tidying the entrance and lounge before a guest arrives, ironing the week’s clothes, or cleaning the kitchen after a small dinner. It suits couples in two-room units who want light, regular help without paying for a long visit they do not need.
Two hours are not enough for a full family flat or a villa, and booking them for a big home means part of the work will be left. A simple rule: if the home has more than two bathrooms or more than three rooms, start with four hours.
Note: Time is counted from the maid’s arrival at your home, so be ready to let her in on time to get the full two hours.
Monthly rental units: cleaning on move-in and after move-out
Al Manakh has two-room units rented by the month, which means residents change more often than in other districts. A new tenant wants to move into a clean unit, and the owner or departing tenant wants to hand it over in good order. The maid cleans the empty unit: dusting surfaces and the inside of windows, cleaning inside cupboards and drawers, scrubbing the bathroom and kitchen, and mopping floors to the last corner.
An empty two-room unit usually needs 4 hours for one maid, because cleaning after move-out goes deeper than a regular visit: cooking residue on the hob, marks on the tiles and dust gathered behind where furniture stood. If the unit is furnished, tell us so we add time for arranging bedding and vacuuming the sofa. Coordinate the maid’s access with the owner or caretaker, and be there yourself or leave someone on your behalf when she arrives.
For owners: If you have several units that change hands often, tell us how many so we can line up visits around handover days.
The small kitchen in a studio: what does it need every visit?
In a studio or small unit the kitchen is usually open to the sleeping and sitting area, so cooking smells and grease spread through the whole space. We recommend giving the kitchen a fixed share of every short visit: washing dishes, wiping the hob and its surroundings, cleaning the sink, wiping the fridge door and microwave outside, and taking out the rubbish. About once a month, add cleaning the inside of the fridge.
Small units often have no room to hang laundry. If you want washing done, set up a small indoor drying rack, or ask only for ironing and folding of clothes already washed, which suits a 2-hour visit better.
After a gathering at the rest house: what does the maid clean?
Al Manakh has rest houses, and many families spend weekends in them. The maid cleans the indoor spaces of a rest house: rooms, the indoor majlis, bathrooms and indoor kitchen; she washes the hospitality items and gathers and arranges floor cushions and bolsters. Hosing down a large courtyard, cleaning a swimming pool and garden care are outside the visit and need a specialist.
If the rest house is away from residential buildings or has no clear address, send the location precisely and point out the entrance, and make sure a family member is there when the maid arrives. The best time for this visit is the morning after the gathering, before leftovers dry on surfaces.
Family villas in Al Manakh: handling wide floors and the majlis
A villa with large halls and a big majlis differs from a flat in that the floors alone can take an hour or more. So we split the villa into zones: the guest zone with the entrance, majlis and guest washroom; the family zone with the living room, kitchen and bedrooms; then the stairs and corridors. In each zone dust comes off first, then things are put away, then the floor is mopped, so each zone is finished properly before moving to the next.
The majlis in Saudi homes needs special care: floor cushions and seating are shaken out or vacuumed, rugs are vacuumed on both sides where possible, serving tables are wiped, and coffee pots and cups are washed and put away. If the majlis receives guests every week, make it a fixed part of the weekly visit; if it is only for occasions, book one visit before the occasion and one after.
Shifts and available times in Al Manakh
We have a morning shift and an evening shift and set the time around your schedule. It is best if a lady of the household is there during the visit to guide the maid. Fridays, holidays and any evening charge are confirmed at booking, and changing the time or the maid is done on WhatsApp well ahead of the visit. If you were happy with a particular maid, ask for her next time and we will send her if she is free.
The maid brings the basic cleaning tools, and cleaning materials are as agreed at booking. If you prefer special products for marble or wood, leave them ready near the kitchen and point them out when she arrives.
A short checklist before the maid arrives in Al Manakh
- Put valuables and important papers in a locked drawer or a room that needs no cleaning.
- Separate laundry from ironing and put each in its own basket.
- Tell the maid your floor types and any surface sensitive to water.
- Pick at least one priority you do not want the visit to end without, such as the entrance or kitchen.
- Make sure electricity and water are on, especially in empty units and rest houses.
This list takes ten minutes but saves the maid time asking and searching, so the hours you pay for all go on actual cleaning. If this is your first visit with us, write your priorities in the booking message and we will pass them to the maid before she arrives.
What will an hourly maid politely decline?
The maid declines jobs outside the nature of the visit: cooking whole meals, staying with children or elderly relatives with no family member present, lifting or moving heavy furniture, working at height or on the building’s exterior, and washing large yards with water, pools and gardens. This is not unhelpfulness; it protects her safety and keeps clear what you are paying for.
A legally employed maid: what do the rules say?
The Domestic Workers Regulation prohibits giving a domestic worker dangerous tasks and prohibits an employer from letting their worker work for others or on their own account. An employer who breaks this faces a fine of up to SAR 20,000 or a recruitment ban of up to three years, doubled on repetition. That is why a maid offering her services herself on the street or by text message can put you in a difficult legal position.
Our maids work with valid residency permits, are trained and wear modest uniforms. Available maids include African nationalities like Kenyan and Ugandan, and Bangladeshi maids; who is free changes at the moment you book.
