24-hour movers in Dubai for apartments, villas and offices. Send a few photos of your place on WhatsApp and we'll reply with a free quote that already covers packing, transport and setup.
See moving prices →Al Afnan Furniture Transfer is a licensed and insured moving company. Our team of movers in Dubai works around the clock, and we provide moving services across Dubai and the rest of the UAE.
As movers and packers in Dubai, we take on the whole job. We wrap and box your belongings, take apart beds and wardrobes, load the truck, and our carpenters put everything back together at your new place.
Moving in Dubai usually means booking a service lift, finding the loading bay and getting building approval before anything leaves the flat. We plan around those details with you before moving day. Ten years of moving homes and offices across the UAE has taught us to sort them out early.
For a price, send photos or a short video of your home on WhatsApp. You'll get a written quote with everything included and no hidden fees.
Our moving services in Dubai range from one sofa to a whole office. One customer needs local movers for a short hop from JLT to Dubai Marina. Another needs a removal company to empty a five-bedroom villa and drive it to Abu Dhabi. Pick the service that matches your move type.
A full house move means the kitchen, the appliances, the kids' rooms and everything stored at the back of cupboards. Our house shifting crews pack room by room and unload each box into the right room at the new address, so you aren't searching for the kettle at midnight. See how our house movers in Dubai plan a complete home move.
In a Dubai tower, the hard part is usually the service lift. Your building gives you a fixed time slot and a loading bay shared with every other resident, so we plan the crew size and packing around that window. We move studios and 1 to 3 bedroom flats. Read more about our apartment movers in Dubai.
Villas mean more of everything: bigger wardrobes, garden furniture, sometimes a home gym in the garage. Our carpenters take apart the large pieces and rebuild them at the new house. We move villas and townhouses in communities like Mirdif, Dubai Hills and Dubailand. Our villa movers in Dubai page covers villa moves step by step.
Every hour your office is closed costs money, which is why many businesses move after hours or over a weekend. Our team works 24 hours, so we can move workstations, filing cabinets and computers overnight and your staff can come back to a working office. Find out how our office movers in Dubai handle business moves.
Need to shift one wardrobe, a sofa you bought on Dubizzle, or a bed that won't fit through the door in one piece? We wrap, dismantle and refit single items or a few pieces without you booking a full house move. See our furniture movers in Dubai service.
Our packers box up your whole home room by room. At the new place, we unpack and put things back in cupboards and drawers, so you aren't living out of boxes for a week.
We're licensed to move across all seven emirates. Our base is in Sharjah, right next door to Dubai, so moves between the two cities are straightforward for us. We also handle long-distance moves from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and the northern emirates. See our movers in Sharjah, movers in Ajman and movers in Ras Al Khaimah pages.
Not sure which service fits your move? Message us on WhatsApp with a few details and we'll point you to the right one.
Dubai has no shortage of moving companies, and most of them promise the same things. These are the parts of our service you can check for yourself.
We're a licensed moving company operating in every emirate. Our insurance covers your belongings on the road and while our crew is handling them, so a mirror cracked in the service lift falls under the same cover as an accident in transit.
Ten years of moves across the UAE means our team has dealt with most of what Dubai buildings throw at movers: narrow service corridors, strict lift timings, villa staircases too tight for a king-size bed frame. We plan for these before moving day instead of discovering them on your doorstep.
Our Dubai movers work day and night. You can book a same-day move, an emergency move after a lease falls through, or a night move whenever your building allows one.
Trained carpenters take apart your beds, wardrobes and office desks and rebuild them at the new place, so nothing goes back together with screws left over.
You can explain what's fragile, what goes where and what stays behind in the language you're most comfortable with.
The best moving company in Dubai for your move is the one that can answer these clearly:
We're happy to answer all five before you book.
We're rated 4.9★ on Google. Read through the reviews and the same things keep coming up: crews arriving on time, careful packing and prices people describe as reasonable. Several come from customers moving into Dubai from Sharjah and Ajman.

Shifted my 2BHK from Al Nahda Sharjah to Dubai Marina last weekend. Team showed up on time, wrapped everything properly (even my wine glasses survived) and the price matched exactly what they quoted on WhatsApp. No surprise charges which is rare honestly.

Used Al Afnan for our office relocation from Business Bay to JLT. 3 floors of furniture, computers, files everything. Finished in one day with zero damage. The supervisor spoke Arabic which made coordination much easier for our staff.

Called them at 9pm because our landlord gave us short notice to vacate. They sent a team the very next morning. The guys were polite, careful with our baby's furniture, and helped reassemble the crib. Fair price for same-day service.

Villa shift from Sharjah to Ajman. Heavy wooden dining table, 3 wardrobes, the works. Team disassembled everything, loaded 2 trucks and set it up again at the new villa. Took around 7 hours total. Hardworking boys and owner is responsive on calls.

As an expat moving within Dubai, I was worried about finding a trustworthy mover. Al Afnan was recommended by a colleague and they didn't disappoint. Proper packing materials, careful handling, everything arrived in perfect condition at my new place in Downtown.

Best movers I have used in 6 years of living in UAE. Moved from a studio in Al Majaz to a 1BHK in Al Barsha. Clear quote on WhatsApp with no hidden fees, team arrived on time and worked fast. Final bill matched the quote exactly. 10/10.

Needed just packing service because I was shipping items back home. They came with professional materials and packed around 40 boxes in 4 hours. Very organized with labelling. Extra care with my grandmother's crockery set 🙏

Second time using Al Afnan. First time was office furniture, this time my villa in Mirdif. What I like is they remember repeat customers. The lead mover knows how to handle solid wood furniture without a scratch. Will use again.

Got 4 quotes before choosing them. Al Afnan wasn't the cheapest but the most transparent on WhatsApp — explained exactly what's included: truck, labour, packing, assembly. Moving day was smooth and the price did not change at the end.
Walk through your home with your phone and send us the video, or snap photos of each room, the big furniture and anything fragile. Tell us both addresses, your preferred date and the floor you're on. If you'd rather we see it in person, we can also arrange a home visit.
We send back a written price that covers packing materials, labour, dismantling, transport and reassembly. Building charges such as move permits and lift deposits are paid to your building, and we'll tell you about them upfront.
We pack room by room and label each box for the room it's going to. Keep your passports, jewellery and important documents with you rather than in the boxes.
Our carpenters take apart beds, wardrobes and large tables, and bag and label the fittings for each piece. The crew loads the heaviest furniture first and packs boxes around it so nothing shifts on the road.
We carry each box into the room it belongs in, rebuild your furniture and put it where you want it. Check everything with the team before they leave so anything that needs moving can be fixed on the spot.
Moves in Dubai rarely land on a convenient Tuesday morning. Leases end on awkward dates, handovers get pushed back, and some buildings only let movers in at set hours. As 24/7 movers in Dubai, we take bookings and work at any hour, including late nights and weekends.
Need to move today? Call or WhatsApp us with both addresses and a few photos. Whether we can do it the same day depends on the size of the job and your building's lift availability, so the earlier you message, the more options you'll have.
Our 24-hour movers in Dubai can work through the night, which suits offices that can't close during working hours. Many towers and gated communities set fixed moving hours, so send us your building's rules and we'll schedule the move to fit.
A move can be fully packed and still stuck in the lobby because the building hasn't approved it. In Dubai, building and community rules decide when your move can happen and how long the crew has, so sort them out before you book a date.
Most towers and gated communities ask for a move permit from building or community management, usually one to leave your old home and another to enter the new one. Buildings commonly ask for:
Some towers also take a refundable deposit against damage to lifts and corridors. In master communities run by developers such as Emaar or Nakheel, the permit usually goes through the community app or portal. Apply as soon as you know your date, because some buildings need a few working days to approve.
Most buildings don't allow furniture in the passenger lifts, so you'll book the service lift through building management for a fixed time window. We size the crew so your belongings move out within that slot. Also check where the truck can park, because some loading bays have height limits or are shared with deliveries.
| High-rise towers (e.g. Dubai Marina, JLT, Business Bay) | Gated villa communities (e.g. Mirdif, Dubai Hills, Dubailand) | |
|---|---|---|
| Main challenge | Service lift slot and loading bay | Gate access and the carry from road to front door |
| Permits | Building management move permit | Community management permit and gate pass for the truck |
| Time limits | Fixed lift windows | Set moving hours in many communities |
| Items needing care | Glass tables, mirrors, appliances in tight corridors | Large wardrobes, outdoor furniture, gym equipment |
| What we plan | Crew size to match the lift slot | Truck size for internal roads and carpenters for large pieces |
Before you confirm your moving date, make sure you have an approved permit, a booked lift slot or gate pass, and a parking spot for the truck.
Send Us Your Building's Rules on WhatsAppA lot of moving damage happens in corridors, lifts and doorways, so we pack for the tight spots as well as the drive:
Glass, crockery, mirrors and lamps wrapped in bubble wrap
Sofas, mattresses and upholstered chairs sealed in stretch film
Clothes moved on their hangers in hanger boxes
TVs and screens wrapped and carried upright
All packing materials are included in your quote, and everything we move is insured in transit and while our crew is handling it.
