SAMA Movers handles both — from studio moves in Discovery Gardens at **AED 799** to full 3-bedroom shifts in Downtown Dubai — with same-day completion on most bookings. ### What's Included in Our Apartment Moving Service Our flat-rate apartment packages cover the whole door-to-door process so you're not chasing extras on moving day. Crews arrive with all materials, tools and padding already loaded on the truck. - **Free survey:** on-site or video walkthrough to lock pricing, identify bulky items and confirm access - **Bedroom furniture:** disassembly of beds, wardrobes and dressers, with labelled hardware bags so nothing is lost - **Packing and wrapping:** bubble wrap on TVs, mirrors and art, stretch film on sofas, quilted blankets on wood furniture, mattress covers on every bed, masking tape and labelled cartons throughout - **Appliances:** fridge and washing-machine transit lock, AC unit disconnect when pre-arranged, TV unmounting - **Reassembly and placement:** furniture rebuilt, beds made and cartons placed room-by-room according to your layout ### Apartment Moving Pricing Across the Emirates Pricing is flat-rate by apartment size, with transparent add-ons for packing, storage or extra floors without elevator access. Most apartment moves are completed in **4 to 7 hours**. - **Studio apartment:** from AED 799 - **1-bedroom:** from AED 999 - **2-bedroom:** from AED 1,399 - **3-bedroom:** from AED 1,899 - **Packing-only service:** from AED 499 (see [packing services](https://samadubaimovers.com/services/packing-services)) ### Why Choose SAMA Movers for Apartment Moves High-rise apartments come with a list of requirements that trip up inexperienced movers. Emaar towers in Downtown and Dubai Marina need **service-elevator bookings 48 hours in advance** with a refundable security deposit. Nakheel and Dubai Properties buildings often require a signed **moving NOC** from the management office plus proof of Ejari at the new address. DMCC towers enforce strict loading-bay time slots and may charge for late returns. The NOC request is submitted by you or your agent — we provide our trade licence, truck plates and crew details for it. Our move coordinator then works with both buildings on the lift booking, padded elevator protection and timings, so our trucks arrive during the approved windows you have been given. Inter-emirate moves (Dubai to Sharjah or Ajman) also involve **[Salik tolls](https://samadubaimovers.com/blog/salik-toll-gates-dubai-moving-cost-guide)** and sometimes timing restrictions on heavy vehicles, which our route planning accounts for automatically. ### Apartment Buildings and Communities We Serve We move customers in and out of towers across [every major apartment community](https://samadubaimovers.com/services/packers-and-movers) — Dubai Marina (Marina Gate, Princess, Cayan), JBR (Bahar, Rimal, Sadaf), Downtown Dubai (Burj Vista, The Address, Boulevard Point), Business Bay (Executive Towers, Paramount, DAMAC Towers), JVC, JLT (Cluster W, Y, X), Al Barsha, Silicon Oasis, Discovery Gardens, International City and Dubai South.

Apartment moves in Dubai typically cost AED 900–1,400 for a studio, AED 1,200–2,000 for a 1-bedroom, AED 1,800–2,800 for a 2-bedroom, and AED 2,800–4,200 for a 3-bedroom. Prices include packing, loading, transport, and unloading within Dubai. Additional factors: high floor without service lift (+AED 200–500), long carry from truck to door (+AED 150–300), packing materials (AED 200–600), and handyman work (AED 150–400). Inter-emirate moves to Sharjah or Ajman add AED 300–600. SAMA Movers provides a fixed written quote after a 2-minute WhatsApp video walk-through. ### Do you handle service elevator bookings and building NOCs? Yes — we coordinate service lift reservations and NOC paperwork with building management as part of every apartment move. You provide the tenancy contract, passport copy, and Emirates ID; we handle the rest. Most Dubai towers (Emaar, DAMAC, Nakheel, Select Group) require 24–72 hours' notice for lift bookings, plus a refundable deposit of AED 500–2,000 against lift-pad damage. We also bring our own lift padding and floor runners to protect marble lobbies. If the building charges a moving fee, we'll flag it in your quote — no surprise deductions later. ### Can you move a studio or 1-bedroom same-day? Yes — studios and 1-bedroom apartments are usually same-day jobs, often completed in 3–5 hours door-to-door. We can typically accommodate next-day or even same-day bookings outside peak periods (month-end and summer). A standard 1-bedroom move uses one 3-ton truck and a 2–3 person crew. If you book before 10:00, we can often start by 14:00 the same day for straightforward moves within Dubai. Same-day moves have a slight urgency surcharge (around AED 200) but include full packing and assembly just like scheduled moves. ### What are the typical moving hours in Dubai apartment buildings? Most Dubai residential towers allow moves 07:00–19:00 Monday–Saturday and 09:00–18:00 Sunday, but exact hours are set by each building. Downtown and Marina towers often enforce stricter 09:00–17:00 windows. Dubai Silicon Oasis, JVC, and JLT tend to be more flexible. During Ramadan, hours often shift later (10:00–15:00 and 21:00–24:00). Some premium buildings (Burj Khalifa, Address Downtown, One Za'abeel) require moves outside peak hours only — typically 10:00–14:00. We confirm your building's exact rules before quoting. ### Do you move from apartments to villas (or vice versa)? Yes — apartment-to-villa and villa-to-apartment moves are common, especially for growing families upgrading or downsizing. The crew size and truck capacity usually scale up for apartment-to-villa moves (more furniture goes in, disassembly of beds/wardrobes needed for reassembly in the new villa). Expect 6–10 hours for a 2-bed apartment to 3-bed villa move. We also help with storage if your villa move-in date doesn't align — short-term climate-controlled warehouse facilities start from AED 500 per month for a small unit holding roughly a studio's worth of furniture, from AED 550 per month for a 1 to 2-bedroom load, and from AED 99 per month if you only need a few boxes stored. We collect, store and redeliver; the collection run is quoted separately from the monthly storage rate. Our team handles everything including disposal of unwanted items. --- ## About SAMA Movers SAMA Movers is a licensed moving company serving Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman: villa and apartment moves, office relocation, packing, furniture moving, handyman work and storage. - Website: https://samadubaimovers.com - Phone: 054 552 0191 - Email: info@samadubaimovers.com - Address: Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, Dubai, UAE - Canonical HTML version of this page: https://samadubaimovers.com/services/apartment-movers
