For your flat or studio in Al Marqab, Gulf Al-Arab Company sends a licensed maid under its hourly maids service in Al Marqab, Riyadh: dishes washed, kitchen and pantry put in order, bathroom and floors cleaned. The usual booking is 4 hours with one maid, priced from SAR 138, and a small studio typically needs just 2 hours, from SAR 92. The driver brings the maid to your building entrance and takes her back at the end. To book, phone or WhatsApp 0561940026.

Which Al Marqab does this page cover?

Al Marqab in Riyadh: the old district in the city centre that Bayut lists under “central Riyadh” and that belongs to the Al Batha sub-municipality. The name crops up elsewhere too, for example Marqab Raghbah and an Al Marqab in Al Badaie, neither of which has anything to do with this district, and our hourly maid service runs only in Riyadh and Jeddah. When you book, write “Al Marqab, Riyadh” and send your location, and there is no room for mix-ups.

Streets that appear in the district’s listings include Al Batha Street itself, plus Ismail Al Jawhari, Abu Ayyub Al Ansari, Aqabat Al Izzah and Jabal Abhar, alongside streets that carry long numbers instead of names, such as one shown as street 26204436 in a building-for-sale listing. Addresses like that are hard to describe over the phone; a map pin does the job.

Homes in Al Marqab are mostly flats, studios and rented rooms in residential buildings, largely occupied by working singles, with families living in flats in the same buildings or in older houses between them. This page is aimed at family homes and flats; for rooms in shared housing or shops, ask us on WhatsApp before booking.

If “hourly maid” is a new term for you: in Riyadh it means a part-time cleaner booked for a set number of hours, who comes, works and leaves. It is not a live-in arrangement and involves no visa or sponsorship on your side.

How long should a visit to a studio or small flat in Al Marqab be?

A studio needs 2 hours, a two- or three-room flat needs 4, and if you add pantry organising and the inside of the fridge, make it 5 or 6. These lengths come from the size of the unit and the tasks, not from the district; what stands out in Al Marqab flats is how small they are, with a narrow kitchen where pots and groceries pile up fast, so the kitchen takes a bigger share of the visit than you might expect.

Use this table to pick a length for your unit:

Not sure which to choose? Start with 4 hours on the first visit. You will then know what your flat really needs: if the maid finishes early, 2 hours a week will do; if work is left over, add an hour or book a second weekly visit.

Many people combine the two patterns: a short weekly visit keeps the flat under control, and a long visit every month or two takes care of the pantry, the fridge and the inside of the cupboards.

How much does a maid by the hour cost in Al Marqab?

Costs in Al Marqab start at SAR 92 for 2 hours and SAR 138 for 4. We chose the rows that fit flats and studios:

The final figure is set by hours, number of maids, flat size and chosen slot, and any evening, Friday or holiday supplement is confirmed when you book. Transport to and from your home is part of the service, so there is nothing extra to budget for it. If a task is missing from the table, ask about its price on WhatsApp.

How does the maid handle dishes in a small kitchen?

She empties the sink and sorts the load: glasses first, because they need clean water, then plates, then greasy pots and pans. That order keeps the water and sponge clean for longer and stops grease reaching the cups. After washing she dries the items or racks them, then puts them back in the cupboards.

In a small kitchen, washing up is only the start. The hob beside the sink gets splattered, the wall behind it soaks up steam and grease, and the narrow worktop becomes a home for everything. After the dishes the maid wipes the hob and the wall next to it, cleans cupboard fronts and handles, clears the worktop of things that do not belong there, then mops the kitchen floor and takes the rubbish out.

Will the maid sort out the pantry and food cupboards?

Yes. She sorts the small storeroom and the food cupboards from the inside: shelves emptied, wiped and refilled with items grouped by type. In small flats the pantry is usually a kitchen cupboard, a shelf in the hallway or a tiny windowless room, packed with rice, sugar, tins, cleaning supplies and bags in no particular order until nothing can be found.

This takes one to two hours depending on the pantry size, so we suggest pairing it with the inside of the fridge in a single 6-hour visit every month or two, while your regular weekly visits cover kitchen, bathroom and floors. The maid does not lift large rice sacks or heavy water cases onto high shelves; heavy lifting is outside the visit.

What does the maid need to find a building on a numbered street?

Three things: the building’s location on the map, the flat and floor number, and a phone number someone will answer when she arrives. Al Marqab’s inner streets have similar-looking buildings, some on numbered streets rather than named ones, and the streets near Al Batha are busy with cars and pedestrians, so the driver cannot wait long while searching for the entrance.

• Drop the pin on the building door itself, not on the main road.
• Mention the building name, the colour of its door, or the shop below it.
• Give the floor and flat number, and say whether there is a lift.
• If the building door opens by buzzer or code, be ready to open it when the maid arrives.

What is not covered by the visit?

Full cooking, looking after children or elderly relatives by herself, risky jobs such as standing on balcony ledges or cleaning windows from outside, and moving heavy furniture are not covered. Everything else in normal housework is: cleaning and tidying, sweeping and mopping, kitchen and dishes, bathrooms, washing, ironing and folding, inside window glass, dusting, guest preparation, and cleaning before moving in or after moving out.

We prefer a lady of the household to be present during the visit. In a small flat that is usually easy, but if you will be at work at that time, tell us in advance and we will work out what suits you.

Why choose a licensed maid through a company?

Because the authorities monitor domestic workers employed outside the legal channels and penalise it. In one of its announcements, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development reported sanctioning 23 employers who let their domestic workers work for others or for themselves, and suspending the licences of 9 recruitment offices, and it urged people to report violations through Musaned. A maid offering herself by the hour without a company behind her can bring you trouble you never expected.

The women we send work on current iqamas, have been trained in housework and wear modest uniforms. They come from African countries, Kenya and Uganda for example, or from Bangladesh, and the choice depends on who is free on your date.
