Al-Kauther Home Services sends hourly maids to South Obhur (Obhur Al Janubiyah) on Jeddah’s northern coast, for villas, chalets and apartments, with 4-hour visits from SAR 135 and 8-hour visits from SAR 270, morning or evening. Because the district is a longer drive from central Jeddah, book a day ahead by calling or messaging 0561940026.

Hourly maids on the south bank of Sharm Obhur
South Obhur lies at the far northern edge of Jeddah, on the southern shore of Sharm Obhur, the creek that cuts in from the Red Sea. It is the part of the city people associate with the sea: beaches, private resorts, marinas and homes built to make the most of the water. Families live here all year round, and many others keep a villa or chalet for weekends and holidays.
That mix shapes how hourly maids are used in the district. Some households book a regular weekly clean like anywhere else in Jeddah. Others book around their weekends — a visit to open the chalet before the family arrives, then another to clean up after everyone has gone home. Coastal homes also bring their own small problems: sand that comes in on every pair of shoes, and a salty film on glass doors that face the sea.
Villa, chalet or apartment: choosing the visit length
Hourly maid prices in South Obhur
The coast does not cost more. South Obhur uses our standard Jeddah starting prices; only the visit length, the number of maids and the shift change the total.

Staircases, halls and sea-air dust

Villas in South Obhur are often built on two or three floors around a central staircase, with wide halls and large windows. The maid works from the top down: dusting banisters and rails, sweeping and mopping each step, then the halls below, so dust is not carried back up. Fine sand blown in from outside is vacuumed from entrances, rugs and corners before mopping, which stops it scratching marble floors.
Sea-facing glass doors and windows pick up a salty haze quickly. She wipes them clean from inside and any balcony doors she can reach safely; exterior windows on upper floors and work on ladders outside are not part of an hourly visit.
Preparing coffee and hospitality for weekend guests

Weekend gatherings are a big part of life in the coastal districts, and this is where an hourly maid earns her time. Before guests arrive, she prepares the reception room, lays out trays, cups, dates and sweets, and gets tea and Arabic coffee ready to pour. During the visit she serves and clears cups quietly, and once guests leave she washes up, cleans the kitchen and returns the room to order.
A typical before-and-after plan for a gathering
- 1Arrival: a quick walk-through with you to agree which rooms guests will use.
- 2Preparation: reception room and guest bathroom cleaned, seating arranged, trays laid out.
- 3Service: tea, coffee and sweets served and cleared while guests are seated.
- 4Clean-up: dishes washed, kitchen wiped down, rooms tidied and floors mopped.
For a gathering of this kind, book two maids for four hours or one maid for eight, timed so the visit covers both the preparation and the clean-up.
Practical notes for coastal homes
- Send a location pin — some villas and chalets sit inside resorts or private communities with their own gate.
- Tell the gate or guard to expect the maid, especially on weekends.
- If the chalet has been closed for a while, check that water and electricity are on before the visit.
- Leave out the cleaning materials you prefer, or agree them with us at booking; the maid brings basic tools.
For families who live in South Obhur all year
Not every home in the district is a weekend retreat. For families who live here full time, the routine looks much like anywhere else in Jeddah — just with more sand at the door. A weekly 4-hour visit from SAR 135, or the 4-visit package from SAR 460 a month, covers the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and a basket of laundry and ironing. Larger households often move to the 8-visit package from SAR 875 so that the laundry never piles up.
If you are happy with a maid, ask for her again on your next booking; we send her whenever she is available. And if your plans change — a trip, a family visit, a change of shift — tell us as early as you can, and we will move the visit to the nearest free slot. Rescheduling terms are explained when you confirm a booking.
Ramadan nights and Eid on the coast
Coastal homes are busy during Eid and on Ramadan evenings, when families gather after iftar. Many households book two maids before Eid to clean the reception rooms, wash guest linen and prepare the kitchen, then a second visit after the holiday to put everything back. During Ramadan, visit times move to fit the fasting day; book these dates early, because slots on the coast are limited.
Legally employed maids only
Every maid we send is legally resident with a valid iqama and is employed and transported by Al-Kauther. Our maids are from African and Asian nationalities, such as Kenyan and Ugandan, depending on availability at booking. An hourly visit covers housework and hospitality only — it does not include cooking full meals or looking after children on her own — and we prefer a woman of the household to be present.
