Get a fast working estimate for your UAE move, see the planned crew and truck requirement, add optional extras, and send the result directly to Gulf Nest on WhatsApp for a more accurate quotation.
Select your move details. The estimate uses the current GulfNest rate card with a reduced customer-facing working range for easier planning; final pricing remains subject to scope and access review. For Studio, 1 BHK, 2 BHK and 3 BHK, the listed crew, truck and box package is already included in the estimate. Inter-emirate routes currently use GulfNest's available rate-group logic; a route-specific quotation may be needed when an approved route rate is not yet published.

Moving Questions
UAE Moving Cost FAQs
How much does a studio move cost in Dubai?
The current Gulf Nest working rate card for a standard studio move in the Dubai pricing group is AED 800–1,200 before optional extras or route adjustments. Final pricing depends on the actual furniture volume and access conditions.
Is the moving survey free?
Yes. Gulf Nest provides a free physical survey. It is recommended for 3 BHK and especially preferred for 4 bedroom and 5 bedroom villa moves before the final quotation is confirmed.
What is included in a standard move?
The confirmed moving package can include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly, loading and unloading, handyman assistance, TV mounting and curtain fixing where included in the agreed scope. The first 3 BHK levels also have the listed crew, truck and box allowance built into the working estimate.
Are extra boxes charged?
Extra boxes including packing are AED 25 per box when requested beyond the agreed moving package.
Is there an extra charge for stairs?
Yes. Staircase moves can require additional labour and time, so extra charges may apply. Long walking distance itself does not carry a separate charge under the current policy.
Does weekend or month-end moving cost more?
The standard rate card remains the same for weekends and month-end. Urgent or last-minute moves can sometimes be priced higher depending on availability and scope.
How much is storage in the UAE?
Storage pricing depends on the facility location. Current working rates are Dubai AED 12–13, Ajman/UAQ AED 12 and Abu Dhabi AED 12–14 per sq ft per month. Storage packing is quoted separately.
How can I get the most accurate quotation?
Use the calculator for a working range, then send furniture photos or a short video on WhatsApp. This helps the team verify volume, access, packing and truck requirements before the final quote.
Moving Cost Estimates for Dubai and the UAE
Moving prices in the UAE depend on property size, furniture volume, crew and truck requirements, building access and the route between pickup and destination. The calculator above uses Gulf Nest's current Dubai and Abu Dhabi working rate cards to provide a transparent starting range. It is designed as an estimate rather than a binding quotation.
Why a physical survey matters for larger moves
For 3 BHK, 4 bedroom and 5 bedroom villa moves, a free physical survey helps confirm furniture volume, lift or staircase access, dismantling requirements, parking conditions and the number of trucks required. This prevents underestimating the scope and makes the final quotation more reliable.
