Al-Kauther Home Services sends hourly maids to homes in the Diplomatic Quarter (As Sifarat), west Riyadh, for visits of 4 to 8 hours in a morning or evening shift, with a 4-hour visit by one maid from SAR 135. Call or WhatsApp 0561940026 to book; you arrange the maid’s entry at the quarter’s gate before the visit, and we confirm the details with you in advance.
Living in the DQ is different from living anywhere else in the city. It is a gated district that houses most of Riyadh’s foreign embassies, with diplomatic residences, family villas, serviced apartments and hotel apartments behind its checkpoints. This page is written for the people who live there: what a visit covers, how many hours a villa that entertains often really needs, and how to handle gate access so none of your booked time is wasted.

Before you book: getting the maid through the DQ gate
Entry to the Diplomatic Quarter runs through controlled gates, and residences inside have their own arrangements for visitors. Our rule is straightforward: the resident arranges the maid’s entry at the gate ahead of the visit, because the permit is tied to your name and address. We send you the details of the maid who will come, then confirm the time again before she sets off.
Planning this ahead protects your booking. Your visit is counted from the moment the maid reaches your front door, but a long wait at the checkpoint still throws the schedule out for everyone. When you book, tell us whether you live in a standalone villa, a unit in a residential compound or a serviced-apartment building, and what is normally asked of your visitors at the gate, so we can have everything ready in time.
Please note: if entry cannot be arranged on a particular day, let us know well before the visit and we will move it, rather than have the maid arrive at the gate and turn back.
How much does an hourly maid cost in the Diplomatic Quarter?
An hourly maid in the Diplomatic Quarter starts from SAR 135 for a 4-hour visit by one maid, the same rate we charge across Riyadh. There is no surcharge because the district is gated or because access needs coordinating. The total depends on the hours, the number of maids and whether you book a one-off visit or a recurring plan. Evening, Friday and public-holiday availability, and any difference in price, are confirmed when you book.
Al-Kauther Home Services hourly maid rates for Riyadh. These are starting prices; the final price depends on hours, number of maids, home size and timing.
A quick rule of thumb: a weekly visit inside the four-visit plan works out cheaper than booking the same visit on its own, and the larger plans bring the per-visit cost down further. If your home needs regular upkeep every week, a plan saves money compared with booking each time.
An hourly maid for homes that entertain
Many households in the DQ host guests regularly: a working dinner, a family gathering, a small reception in the living room or garden. This is where an hourly maid makes sense. She doesn’t live in, she comes before the event to prepare the house, and she can return the next morning to put everything back in order.
What gets done before your guests arrive
- ✓Reception rooms and the majlis cleaned, tables and glass surfaces polished.
- ✓The hospitality corner sorted: drinks fridge wiped out, drawers and shelves cleaned, glasses and cups set out.
- ✓Serving dishes washed, dried and placed within easy reach.
- ✓Guest bathrooms cleaned and stocked with fresh towels.
- ✓Help setting the table and serving refreshments during the event, if your booked hours cover it.
The morning after
A post-event visit is a different job: stacks of dishes, marks on table linen, floors that need a full mop and rugs that need vacuuming. We suggest 6 hours with one maid, or two maids for 4 hours if you want the house back to normal in half the time. One thing we keep clear: the maid helps in the kitchen with cleaning and preparation, but she does not cook the meals for your event.
How many hours does a DQ villa or apartment need?
Homes in the Diplomatic Quarter range from garden villas and mission residences to serviced and hotel apartments occupied by staff and their families. The right number of hours depends on the size of the home, the number of rooms and what you want done, not on the postcode. These estimates will help you choose:
Serviced or hotel apartment
4 hours
A full clean and tidy, kitchen and bathrooms included, usually with time left for laundry.
Mid-sized villa
6 hours
Living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms, plus a moderate load of laundry and ironing.
Large two-storey villa
8 hours or two maids
For both floors in a single visit without rushing.
Before or after a reception
Two maids × 4 hours
Fast hospitality set-up, or a full reset the next morning.
Good to know: some serviced and hotel apartment buildings run their own housekeeping and have rules about outside cleaners. If you live in one, check with the building management before you book.
Laundry, ironing and delicate fabrics
Households with a busy calendar of formal events tend to ask for the same things: shirts and thobes pressed, and scarves, abayas and silk pieces prepared. Your maid works from the care label on each item, ironing silk on a low setting under a pressing cloth, separating colours before washing, and folding or hanging everything where it belongs.
If you have valuable pieces or anything marked dry-clean only, set them aside and mention it at the start. For a visit that is just laundry and ironing, 4 hours usually covers a week’s load for an average family; add an hour if there is more.
What a visit includes, and what it doesn’t
It is best if a woman of the household is at home during the visit, as it makes it easy to point the maid to what matters most. Children stay in the family’s care throughout: an hourly visit is for the home, not for childcare.

Mornings suit anyone who wants the house ready by midday; evenings suit working families or a home preparing for dinner guests. Each shift has an arrival window set at booking, and the time starts when the maid steps in.
Plans are simply hourly visits repeated through the month: once, twice or three times a week. In a gated district they have an extra advantage, because access is easier to arrange when the slot is the same each week, and you can ask for the maid you were happy with whenever she is available.
Legally employed maids and available nationalities
Every maid we send is legally employed with a valid residence permit, trained in housework and dressed in a modest uniform. Nationalities are African and Asian, depending on availability at the time of booking, such as Kenyan and Ugandan; you can request a preference and we confirm it when you book. The maid brings basic cleaning tools, and cleaning products are as agreed at booking.
It is worth remembering why this matters. Under rules announced by the General Directorate of Passports, employing a worker who is not working for her sponsor or who has absconded can lead to a fine of up to SAR 100,000 and up to 6 months in prison. Booking through a properly licensed provider keeps you clear of that risk.
