Is a Meraas Move Permit mandatory?

Yes. Meraas enforces a strict online permit system for all its residential communities (City Walk, Port de La Mer, Bluewaters). You must apply via the Meraas Community Portal at least 2-3 days in advance. Security will block trucks at the master community gate without a valid QR code.

How do movers handle City Walk's pedestrian zones?

City Walk has strict vehicle restrictions in retail/pedestrian areas. Professional movers use designated underground service tunnels and loading bays (height restricted usually to 2.8m - 3.2m). They use 'shuttle trucks' (smaller vans) if the main truck cannot fit in the basement.

Do you cover Jumeirah Bay and Bvlgari Island?

Yes. These are high-security zones. Our partners are experienced in the enhanced security clearance required for Jumeirah Bay Island, including pre-registration of all crew IDs at the main causeway checkpoint.

Can you move us on a weekend (Friday/Saturday)?

Weekend moves are possible but challenging due to heavy visitor traffic in City Walk and La Mer. We strongly recommend scheduling the truck arrival for 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM to finish the loading phase before the retail crowds arrive around noon.

Do you need a permit to move in City Walk or La Mer?

Yes. A Move-In/Out Permit is mandatory for all Meraas communities including City Walk and Port de La Mer. Residents must apply via the Meraas Community Portal at least 48 hours in advance, uploading their tenancy contract (Ejari) and the moving company's trade license.

Without this permit, security will deny truck access to the basement service zones. City Walk moves are particularly strict regarding timing to avoid congestion on the retail boulevards, with heavy movements often restricted to 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM.

The Meraas Access Protocol

Navigating Meraas security requires precision. We follow a strict 4-step process.

1. Portal Support

We provide the mover's license & insurance instantly for your Meraas Portal application.

2. Bay Booking

Reserving the designated loading bay (often height-restricted) to ensure truck access.

3. Finish Protection

Installing heavy-duty floor runners and corner guards to protect lobby marble & wall cladding.

4. Service Route

Using designated service tunnels to keep the retail/pedestrian boulevards clear.

Why City Walk Moves Fail

Truck too tall for basement service entrance (2.8m limit)
Fines for obstructing retail pedestrian zones
Security denial due to missing QR code permit
Damage to lobby marble (No protection used)

We solve this: Our partners use shuttle vans for height-restricted basements.
