Moving from Al Barsha to Ajman – Looking for Advice

I made a similar move a while back, and my biggest advice is to get quotes from at least 3 companies before deciding. Also, ask if the price includes packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and if there are any extra charges for stairs or long carrying distances.

Reading recent reviews also helped me avoid a few companies with poor service. Hopefully, others can recommend movers they had a good experience with. Good luck with your move! 😊

Can't recommend a mover — you asked for personal experience rather than advertising, and I'd only be repeating names I've seen online. Hopefully others can help there.

What I can offer is what quietly costs people money on this particular move:

**Move-out NOC.** Most Dubai towers require an NOC from building management before a crew can use the service lift — often with service charges and DEWA settled, sometimes a deposit, usually restricted hours. Start it a couple of weeks out.

**Close DEWA properly, don't just move out.** The AED 2,000 apartment deposit is refundable only on proper closure — keep the receipt. An account left open keeps billing standing charges and the Housing Fee against a flat you've left.

**Ajman isn't DEWA.** It's Etihad Water and Electricity — fresh connection, its own deposit. Your Dubai deposit doesn't transfer.

**Check your Dubai lease notice.** A tenancy doesn't end because you've moved out, and cheques already handed over can still be presented. Give written notice and get written acknowledgement.

**On quotes:** itemised in writing, and ask specifically what's *excluded*. Usual gaps are AC and TV dismounting, curtains and light fittings, packing materials, storage if handover dates don't align, and lift or access charges at either end. If insurance is "included", ask what the cover limit actually is.

**One you didn't ask:** if either of you still works in Dubai, price the commute before committing. Two Salik gates each way at peak is roughly AED 6,650 a year in tolls alone, before fuel. You may have run this already — but it catches people.

Good luck with the move 🙏

Hi Ravindra, hope the move goes smoothly!

Just to be transparent, I’m from Star Edge Movers. We handle moves from Dubai to Ajman, including Al Barsha, and can provide full packing, furniture protection, dismantling/reassembly, transport and unpacking if required.

For a 2–3 bedroom apartment, the price can vary quite a bit depending on the amount of furniture, packing required, access at both buildings, and whether any special items need handling. I’d recommend getting a proper assessment rather than accepting a very low fixed quote without checking what’s included.

Whichever company you choose, ask whether packing materials, dismantling/reassembly, transport, and any additional charges are included in the quotation. Also check recent reviews and make sure the final scope is confirmed in writing before moving day.

Happy to answer any questions about the Dubai → Ajman moving process, even if you’re still comparing companies.

Hi! Moving from Al Barsha to Ajman can feel like a big task, especially when you have a lot of furniture and household items.

For a 2–3 bedroom apartment, I'd recommend getting at least 2–3 quotes from moving companies before making a decision. Ask whether packing materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, transportation, and any extra labor are included in the price. It's also worth confirming the final cost in writing to avoid unexpected charges on moving day.

Make sure to check recent customer reviews and confirm that the company has experience with moves between Dubai and Ajman.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your move!

Hope your move goes smoothly, and best of luck settling into your new home in Ajman! 😊

Good luck with the move. The point about getting everything in writing really stood out to me, especially around what is included and what is not. I hope the Dubai to Ajman move goes smoothly for you.

  Good point, getting everything in writing really does help. A few practical things I would add for this kind of move: make a room by room list of the larger items before you ask for quotes, so each company prices the same load, and photograph anything fragile before it is packed. Label each box with the room it belongs in and keep one essentials box with chargers, documents, bedding and basic kitchen things, so you are not opening every box on the first night. Ask in writing whether packing materials, dismantling and reassembly, transport and any building charges are included, and ask what happens if the truck cannot park close to either building. It also helps to declutter first, as fewer boxes usually means a lower volume and a simpler move. Good luck with the Al Barsha to Ajman move.
