Question 1

Do I need an RTA parking permit for moving in Al Barsha 1?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most service roads in Al Barsha 1 (near Mall of the Emirates) are paid parking zones (e.g., 373A). If the moving truck blocks the road or takes up 3 slots without a commercial permit, you risk a fine of AED 500-1,000. Our partners handle this permit via the RTA app automatically.

Question 2

How much does it cost to move a 1-bedroom apartment in Al Barsha?

Accepted Answer

A standard move within Al Barsha typically costs between AED 800 and AED 1,300 depending on the volume and if you need packing services. We recommend comparing 3 quotes to ensure you aren't overcharged.

Question 3

Can your movers access low-height basements in Barsha 1?

Accepted Answer

Many older buildings behind MOE have 2.2m height restrictions. We filter for moving companies that have 'Shuttle Vans' (Toyota HiAce/Nissan Urvan) specifically to ferry items from the basement to the larger truck parked on the main road.

Question 4

How do you handle traffic in Al Barsha 2 & 3?

Accepted Answer

Traffic near the American School of Dubai and Dubai National School can freeze moving trucks for hours. Our partners schedule moves to avoid the 7:30 AM and 2:30 PM school run windows to ensure efficiency.
