Al Ruwais is one of Jeddah’s oldest residential districts, overlooking the Red Sea, where older houses sit beside modern apartment buildings. Older homes hold furniture made to last: heavy wooden wardrobes, chests and keepsakes from years gone by. An Al Ruwais dabab moves these pieces with the care they deserve, alongside flat moves and rides.

Why Al Ruwais residents choose a dabab
A dabab is a light goods vehicle with a front cab and an open rear bed — small enough to move through busy streets, big enough for a room, appliances or purchases. It costs less than a wanet or a dyna, so it suits small and medium moves and rides.
Everything a Al Ruwais dabab can move
Al Ruwais residents call a dabab for different reasons, from a full room to a single piece or a short ride. Here is what we do in the district:
What makes moving in Al Ruwais different?
Al Ruwais lies in north Jeddah on the Red Sea front and borders Al Hamra, Al Sharafiyah and Al Baghdadiyah Al Gharbiyah. Its streets include Hail Street and Al Sayed Street, home to one of the area’s oldest markets; the Corniche road runs alongside it and Haifa Mall sits within its boundaries.
The district is about 11 minutes from Jeddah Islamic Port and about 27 minutes from the airport. Redevelopment has placed new buildings beside older houses, so jobs range from a wooden wardrobe in an old family home to a modern flat in a new building.
Jobs we often get in Al Ruwais
- Moving a heavy old wooden wardrobe wrapped in blankets.
- Moving chests, keepsakes and brassware in padded cartons.
- Moving an older house from Al Ruwais to a new home.
- Moving a flat in a modern building to Al Hamra or Al Sharafiyah.
- A ride with your items from Al Ruwais to any Jeddah district.
What you can move by dabab from Al Ruwais
A dabab bed is small next to a wanet or a dyna, but it holds more than most people expect when the load is arranged well. This table gives a quick idea:
| Load | Is a dabab enough? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| A single piece (sofa, fridge, wardrobe) | Yes | The best-value option for one piece |
| A dismantled bedroom with mattress | Usually yes | After dismantling, wrapping and arranging |
| A majlis or living room | Usually yes | Depends on the number and size of pieces |
| Kitchen appliances and cartons | Yes | Cartons stacked in rows and strapped |
| A two-bedroom flat | Usually two trips | Or one trip by wanet |
| A villa or large flat | No | We suggest more than one vehicle on the same day |
Not sure? Send photos of your items on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether one dabab is enough or you need two trips or a wanet.
Wrapping: the step that protects your furniture
Good wrapping is what makes furniture arrive the way it left. This is our routine on every move:
- Blankets for wood and glossy surfaces so they do not scratch.
- Stretch film for sofas and mattresses so fabric stays clean.
- Cardboard corners for mirrors, glass and table edges.
- Screw bags labelled with the name of each piece so nothing gets lost.
- Straps to hold every piece in place inside the bed.

From dismantling to rebuilding
- Check the pieces and photograph valuable ones to record their condition before the move, and decide what is dismantled and what travels whole.
- Dismantle with the right tools on a blanket so the floor is not scratched.
- Number every part and bag its screws with its name.
- Wrap and load in an order that protects the pieces and balances the weight.
- Rebuild in the new home in the same order, then adjust doors and drawers and check everything is steady.
Planning before moving day saves half the time: decide where each piece goes in the new home, measure doors and lifts for large pieces, and book early at the end of the month when demand is high.

A ride with your items from Al Ruwais to anywhere
Many Al Ruwais residents book the dabab for a ride rather than a move: it goes with you to the showroom or market and brings your purchases back, or takes you with your bags and cartons to another home. A ride within the district from SAR 65; farther districts depend on distance. More on Jeddah Dabab Rides.
Serving shops and warehouses in Al Ruwais
If you run a shop or warehouse, a dabab is better value than a wanet for daily deliveries: cartons, light goods and furniture sold to your customers. We agree regular runs or on-demand trips and arrange the load so every order reaches its owner intact. See also Jeddah Item Delivery Dabab.
What spoils a moving day?
- Leaving drawers full — the piece gets heavier and they slide open while carried.
- Moving the fridge without unplugging and drying it first.
- Not measuring doors and the lift for large pieces.
- Mixing all the screws in one unlabelled bag.
- Leaving the booking to the last minute at the end of the month.

Yes. Each piece is wrapped on its own and placed in padded cartons marked “fragile”.
