The hourly maids in Az Zahrah, Riyadh service from Gulf Al-Arab Company covers the district’s flats, floors and villas. A typical visit is 4 hours with one maid, from SAR 138, with shorter visits for specific jobs and longer ones for big homes. Az Zahrah families ask us mostly for two things: a kitchen brought back to clean after a week of cooking and gatherings, and mirrors and glass with no streaks or spots. To book, call or WhatsApp us on 0561940026.

Do your maids come to Az Zahrah in west Riyadh?
Yes, we serve Az Zahrah in west Riyadh, a residential district in the Al Uraija sub-municipality that property portals file under the west of the city. On its western side Az Zahrah meets As Suwaidi Al Gharbi, with Hamza bin Abdulmuttalib Street between them, and its inner streets include Al Aridah Street, Mohammed Ibn Muhaiza Street, Al Rayah Street and Shaiban bin Muhriz Street.
Homes in Az Zahrah are a mix of flats, floors and villas, which is why requests here vary. A family in a three-bedroom flat wants a clean kitchen and two clean bathrooms every week; a family in a separate floor hosts relatives at the weekend and needs help tidying after the gathering; a villa owner wants two maids so the work finishes in reasonable time. What most homes share, though, is the kitchen: it is where the household works more than anywhere else.
Az Zahrah is not Az Zahra
Az Zahrah is in west Riyadh in the Al Uraija sub-municipality, while Az Zahra is a different district in central Riyadh, in the Al Malaz sub-municipality. The similar names cause address mix-ups, so spell your district carefully and send your location pin with the booking.
What does an hourly maid in Az Zahrah cost?
An hourly maid in Az Zahrah costs from SAR 92 for 2 hours and from SAR 138 for 4 hours with one maid; the final amount is set by the hours, the maids, the time slot and the size of the home. We built this table around the kitchen and glass requests that are common in the district:
| Visit type | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 hours | One maid: the whole kitchen, then bathrooms and rooms | 138 |
| 2 hours | A flat kitchen, or mirrors and glass in bathrooms and the hall | 92 |
| Two maids × 4 hours | One in the kitchen, one in the majlis and hall after a gathering | 296 |
| 8 visits × 4 hours | Two visits a week for a home that cooks every day | 885 |
| Extra hour | To finish the fridge or cupboards if the maid is free | 52 |
Evening, Friday and holiday charges are confirmed at booking. If you are unsure of the length, send us the number of rooms and bathrooms and the size of the kitchen, and we will suggest what fits before you confirm.
Why do Az Zahrah families ask for the kitchen first?
Az Zahrah families ask for the kitchen first because it is the room that gets dirtiest and wears its owners out, especially in homes that cook lunch every day and host family gatherings. Kabsa, fried food, coffee and tea all leave their mark on marble counters, cupboard fronts, the wall behind the hob and the floor, and grease that is not wiped the same day turns into a sticky film that is hard to shift a week later.
An hourly maid does not cook full meals, but she can return the kitchen to a state that makes cooking a pleasure again: dishes washed and put away, a clean hob, shining counters, a floor with no oil spots and an empty, clean bin. In homes that cook nearly every day, a weekly visit or two visits a week keep the kitchen under control without cleaning becoming a heavy chore for the family.
In what order does the maid clean the kitchen?
- Dishes first: she washes what has piled up or runs the dishwasher and puts away what is dry, freeing the sink and counters.
- Top to bottom: she wipes the outside of the cooker hood, then the wall behind the hob, then the counters, so dust and grease do not fall on cleaned areas.
- The hob: she lifts the pan supports, soaks them if needed and wipes the surface with a product suited to its type.
- Cupboard fronts and handles: fingerprints and splashes collect here, so they get a damp wipe then a dry one.
- Small appliances: the kettle and coffee machine outside, and the microwave inside and out.
- Sink and floor last: she shines the sink and tap, then sweeps and mops the floor and takes out the rubbish.
Leave the counter cleaner you trust
If your counters are natural marble or wood, some acidic cleaners can damage them. Leave the right product where the maid can see it, or tell us at booking so we agree on products.
The fridge and inside the cupboards: when are they part of the visit?
Cleaning inside the fridge and cupboards takes time, so we do not put it in every weekly visit; every two weeks, once a month or before an occasion works better. The maid empties the fridge shelf by shelf, wipes shelves and drawers with warm water and a mild cleaner, dries them and puts things back with items close to their expiry date at the front. In cupboards she takes down the pots or food tins, wipes the shelf and rearranges so that what you use most is within reach. She never throws anything away without the family’s say-so.
What can the maid do in the kitchen in each visit length?
The length of the visit decides how deep the kitchen clean goes; this table helps you choose for your Az Zahrah kitchen:
| Visit length | What can be done in the kitchen | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | Dishes, counters, hob surface, sink, floor | A small flat, or a kitchen cleaned every week |
| 4 hours | All of the above plus cupboard fronts and small appliances, then bathrooms and rooms | The usual weekly visit for a family home |
| 5 hours | The full kitchen with the inside of the fridge and a shelf or two of cupboards | A home whose kitchen has not been cleaned for a while |
| 6 hours | Kitchen, small pantry and inside cupboards along with the rest of the home | A floor or villa before an occasion |
| Two maids × 4 hours | One maid in the kitchen, the other in the majlis, bathrooms and glass | The day after a big gathering |

After a large gathering most Az Zahrah homes need two maids for 4 hours, or one maid for 6 hours if the home is a flat or small floor. A gathering tires out two places at once: the kitchen, full of pots, trays and serving dishes, and the majlis or hall where guests sat and left coffee cups and leftover refreshments.
With two maids the work is shared. The first starts on the big pots and trays, counters and floor in the kitchen; the second collects cups and plates from the majlis, vacuums the rugs and floor seating, wipes the glass tables and cleans the guest bathroom. At the end they meet to put the serving ware back in place and take out the rubbish. If you also want help setting up and serving before the gathering itself, we arrange that by the hour too, while the cooking stays with the family.
How does the maid clean mirrors and glass without streaks?
The maid cleans mirrors and glass with two cloths: one damp to loosen marks and one clean and dry to buff until no streaks remain. That simple method is the difference between a mirror that looks clean from a distance and one that shows nothing when the light hits it.
Az Zahrah homes have a lot of glass: bathroom mirrors with dried water drops, glass shower screens that build up white spots, glass tables in the hall and majlis, and cupboard and display-cabinet doors where families show their serving sets. Each needs its own approach: the shower screen needs a spot remover, a rinse and drying; a raised glass table is wiped on both sides; the display cabinet is wiped outside, and inside too if you want the maid to take the pieces out and put them back.
Bathroom mirrors
Dried water drops and toothpaste marks removed, then buffed dry.
Shower screens
Spot remover for white marks, a rinse, then drying so the spots do not return quickly.
Glass tables
Wiped on both sides, with edges and metal legs polished.
Display cabinets
Doors wiped, and pieces taken out, cleaned and returned on request.
Glass the maid will not touch
Chandeliers hanging from high ceilings, exterior glass façades and windows that need standing on a ledge or a tall ladder are all outside the visit because they are hazardous. Indoor glass within reach is what the maid cleans.
Flat, floor or villa in Az Zahrah: how does the visit differ?
Between a flat, a floor and a villa in Az Zahrah the visit differs in length and number of maids; the method stays the same. A three-bedroom flat with two bathrooms is fine with 4 hours a week, of which the kitchen takes about an hour and the rest goes to bathrooms, rooms and glass.
A separate floor is usually bigger, with a men’s majlis, a family hall and sometimes a small prep kitchen, so it needs 5 or 6 hours if you want everything in one visit. A villa is best served by two maids for 4 hours, or two visits a week, one for the kitchen and bathrooms and one for rooms, glass and laundry. If the villa has an annex or driver’s room, mention it: the annex is cleaned inside as part of the visit, but hosing a big courtyard is not.
What an hourly maid visit includes and what it does not
A maid visit in Az Zahrah covers housework inside the home and leaves out full cooking, hazardous and outdoor work:
Housework
Cleaning and tidying, sweeping and mopping, kitchen and dishes, bathrooms, washing, ironing and folding.
Glass and dust
Interior window glass, mirrors, dusting, vacuuming majlis seating and rugs.
Occasions
Setting up and serving refreshments and cleaning after, Ramadan and Eid prep, before moving in or after moving out.
Not in the visit
Full cooking, sole care of children or elderly people, heights and façades, moving heavy furniture, hosing big yards, pools and gardens.
The maid arrives with her basic cleaning tools, and the cleaning products are fixed with you when you book. We prefer a lady of the house to be in so she can show the maid the kitchen and where things are kept; that saves a lot of time on the first visit.
How do I book an hourly maid in Az Zahrah?
You book a maid in Az Zahrah with a WhatsApp message or a call to 0561940026, and we reply with the available time and price:
- 1Write “Az Zahrah, west Riyadh” and send your location pin so it is not mixed up with Az Zahra.
- 2Give the home type, the number of rooms and bathrooms and the rough size of the kitchen.
- 3Say what you need: kitchen, mirrors and glass, tidying after a gathering, or a full clean.
- 4Pick the number of hours and maids and the morning or evening slot.
- 5We confirm the time, take the maid to your home and bring her back when the visit ends.
Visit time is counted from the moment the maid arrives. To change the time or the maid, message us on WhatsApp well before the visit, and if you like a maid’s work you can request her for the next visit, subject to availability.
Who are the maids and what makes the booking legal?
Our maids are legally employed with valid iqamas, trained in household work, and wear a modest uniform during the visit. We offer maids of African nationalities such as Kenyan and Ugandan, and maids from Bangladesh; availability changes at the time of booking. For newcomers to Riyadh: an “hourly” or “part-time” maid is a visit-based service, not a live-in worker.
The law holds the householder responsible for who works in the home. Under the Domestic Workers Regulation, anyone who allows their domestic worker to work for others can face a maximum penalty of SAR 20,000 or a recruitment ban of at most 3 years. The General Directorate of Passports warns that employing, transporting or sheltering violators of residency and labour rules, domestic workers among them, is punishable by as much as 6 months in prison and SAR 100,000.
