Al Thaghr is an older south Jeddah district also known as “Al Jafnah”, home to consulates, government facilities and a gate of Effat University. Some residents leave Jeddah now and then and ship their belongings home, so they need someone to get the cartons to the shipping office before the deadline. An Al Thaghr dabab collects, wraps and delivers the cartons on time.

The dabab: what it is and why people book it
A dabab is a small cab-over truck with an open bed and low sides, well known to everyone in Jeddah. Its small size lets it into narrow streets and right up to the entrance, and its bed takes a dismantled room or pieces, appliances and cartons. That makes it the best-value option when the load does not need a big truck.
What does the Al Thaghr dabab do?
Our work in Al Thaghr is not only furniture moving — a dabab is a flexible vehicle for many everyday jobs. These are the most requested in the district:
Why a dabab suits Al Thaghr
Al Thaghr lies in south Jeddah, bordering Al Kandarah and Al Sulaymaniyah, with its northern side on the old Makkah Road. Landmarks include Effat University’s Gate 6, the Consulate General of Yemen, the Consulate General of Bangladesh, the General Medical Commission in Jeddah and Al Nuzlatain police station.
Homes range from villas and houses to apartment buildings, flats and rooms. Shipping belongings abroad needs strong double-wall cartons and a list of each carton’s contents, which shipping companies usually ask for. We prepare that with you and deliver the cartons to the office or warehouse you choose.
Jobs we often get in Al Thaghr
- Taking shipping cartons to the shipping company’s office before travel.
- Moving belongings to a temporary storage unit.
- Moving a flat from Al Thaghr to Al Kandarah or Al Jamiah.
- Wrapping a TV and small appliances ready for shipping.
- A ride with your items from Al Thaghr to any Jeddah district.
Dabab capacity: what fits?
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.
How we wrap your furniture in Al Thaghr
Most scratches and breakages happen in the minutes of loading and unloading, not on the road. So we give wrapping its full time:
- 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.

How we dismantle and rebuild in Al Thaghr
- 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 dabab ride from Al Thaghr
Many Al Thaghr 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.
Delivering orders and goods by dabab
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.
Tips before 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.
