One thing first: this page is about Az Zahrah in west Riyadh, part of the Al Uraija sub-municipality, not Az Zahra in central Riyadh. The two names look and sound almost the same, and people mix them up in map apps and messages all the time, so each district has its own page.
In short
- Lowest price: 4-hour visit with one maid from SAR 135; 6-hour visit from SAR 200.
- Which district: Az Zahrah, west Riyadh (Al Uraija sub-municipality), not Az Zahra in central Riyadh.
- Rugs and curtains: vacuuming and grooming rugs and curtains is part of the visit; no water or steam washing.
- Dust control: weekly plan of 4 visits × 4 hours from SAR 460.
- Large villas: a pair of maids for 4 hours, from SAR 290.
- Timing: morning or evening, timed from the maid’s arrival.
Az Zahrah or Az Zahra? Check the district before you book
Az Zahrah is in west Riyadh under the Al Uraija sub-municipality, and property portals list it among west Riyadh districts. Streets that appear in local addresses include Al Aridah Street, Muhammad Ibn Muhayzi Street, Ar Rayah Street and Shayban Ibn Muhriz Street. Az Zahra is a different district in central Riyadh, with its own page: hourly maids in Az Zahra.
Why does it matter? Because the maid heads to whatever address you type, and a mix-up between the two names means time lost on the road. The easy fix is to send your location pin with the booking message and mention a nearby street, so we can confirm the address is in Az Zahrah, west Riyadh, before she sets off.
Hourly maid prices in Az Zahrah
An hourly maid in Az Zahrah starts from SAR 135 for 4 hours, SAR 185 for 5 hours and SAR 230 for 8 hours. These are Al-Kauther’s standard Riyadh rates, with no extra charge for being in the west of the city.
These are starting prices from Al-Kauther Home Services for Az Zahrah and every Riyadh district; the final price depends on hours, number of maids, home size and shift.
Note: For evening visits, Fridays or public holidays, price and availability are confirmed at booking. Ask for the final price on WhatsApp before you lock in the time.
Apartment, floor or villa: what suits your home in Az Zahrah?
The district mixes apartments, floors and villas, so the question “how many hours do I need?” has a different answer in each. What usually decides it is not just the number of rooms but the amount of fabric in the home: thick rugs, heavy curtains and upholstered sofas take longer than bare tiled floors.
Apartment
Usually 4 hours
Two or three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. Add an hour if rugs cover the whole living area.
Floor
5–6 hours
More space, a separate majlis and sometimes internal stairs, with laundry and ironing in the same visit.
Villa
8 hours or 2 maids
Reception rooms with long curtains and wide rugs; two maids starting together for 4 hours works best.
If you are unsure, tell us how many rooms and sitting rooms you have and what the floors are like, and we will suggest a length before you confirm. You can always start with 4 hours and add an hour from SAR 50 if needed, depending on the maid’s schedule that day.
Rugs and curtains: the biggest dust traps in Az Zahrah villas
Dust in west Riyadh finds its way in through windows and doors even when they are shut, and it settles in fabric first. In Az Zahrah villas we often find that shag rugs and velvet curtains are what make a living room look tired, even after the floors have been mopped.
Shag and thick-pile rugs
The maid vacuums rugs in two passes, once with the pile and once against it, then grooms long-pile rugs with a rubber rake if you have one, lifting fibres flattened under furniture. She also cleans under sofas and light tables after easing them aside, because that is where dust collects out of sight.
Heavy drapes and sheer curtains
Long velvet curtains are not taken down in a normal visit; they are vacuumed while hanging, top to bottom, with a soft nozzle, and their edges and rings are wiped. Sheers are shaken out gently and the window glass behind them is cleaned from inside. Order matters: curtains first, then furniture, then the floor last.
Note of caution: Washing rugs with water or steam, and taking heavy curtains off high rails, are not part of an hourly visit. Those jobs need special equipment and ladders, and we do not ask maids to do them, for their safety and for the sake of your furniture.
A suggested monthly plan for a dusty home
Rather than waiting for dust to build up and then booking one long visit, spread the work over the 4 visits × 4 hours plan, from SAR 460, and give each week a different focus on top of the usual clean:
By the end of the month the maid has reached every corner of the house at least once, without loading everything onto a single visit. For a larger home, 8 visits start from SAR 875 and 12 visits from SAR 1,320.
What the maid does and does not do
An hourly maid is responsible for cleaning, tidying, laundry and ironing during the booked time. This list will help you write your request:
- ✓Bedrooms, living rooms and majlis: sweeping, vacuuming, mopping and tidying.
- ✓Kitchen: washing dishes, wiping worktops and cupboard fronts, cleaning the hob and sink.
- ✓Bathrooms: cleaning and sanitising basins, tubs and mirrors.
- ✓Clothes: washing, hanging, ironing, folding and putting away.
- ✓Glass: windows and glass doors from inside.
- ✓Occasions: setting up the majlis and table before guests, and cleaning up afterwards.
- ✗No full cooking, though she will clean the kitchen and help prep vegetables.
- ✗Children and elderly relatives are not left in her sole care.
- ✗No outside walls and no heavy furniture lifting.
We prefer a woman of the household to be at home during the visit, to set priorities and point out pieces that need special care.
Booking and arrival details in Az Zahrah
- 1WhatsApp or call 0561940026 and write “Az Zahrah, west Riyadh” plus the name of the nearest street.
- 2Tell us the home type (apartment, floor or villa), the number of rooms and sitting rooms, and whether the floors are carpeted.
- 3Pick the length and shift; we send the price and arrival time to confirm.
- 4Share your location pin, and your flat or floor number if you live in a building.
- 5The maid arrives with basic cleaning tools; cleaning products are as agreed at booking, and time starts when she arrives.
Tip: If your floor is in a house with more than one door, write “side door” or “stair door” clearly and meet the maid at the right entrance the first time. On later visits she will find her own way.
Visit times: morning or evening
In Az Zahrah we offer a morning shift and an evening shift. Mornings are better for deep work on rugs and curtains, because daylight shows up the dust; evenings suit tidying before a family visit or after a working day. During Ramadan shift times change, and we confirm yours when you book.
Travel time is never counted: your four hours start when the maid walks in. If you need to move your appointment, tell us on WhatsApp as early as you can so we can arrange another slot.
Why book a legally employed maid through Al-Kauther?
Our maids are legally employed with valid residency permits, trained and dressed in a modest uniform, and we drop them off and collect them. We offer maids of African and Asian nationalities, such as Kenyan and Ugandan, depending on availability at the time of booking; ask for a particular nationality and we will confirm.
Using a maid from outside the legal system can cost a householder a fine of up to SAR 100,000 and up to 6 months in prison under Saudi passport regulations, and the Domestic Workers Regulation forbids hiring out a domestic worker to others, with fines of up to SAR 20,000 for the employer. Booking through a responsible company is the safe route.
