Furniture Moving in Ain Shams: Narrow Streets, High Floors and Moving-Day Preparation

Ain Shams is an older, densely populated district in north-east Cairo, and many of its buildings have no elevator and its streets are narrow. A move here goes well when we know the floor, the entrance and where the truck can park before moving day.

What makes moving in Ain Shams different?

Ain Shams is a busy district near Abbasiya, Heliopolis and Matareya, with markets and streets that tighten at peak hours. Many buildings are older, some have no elevator, and the stairs may be narrow or have sharp turns. These details change the number of workers and the time more than the distance does.

Tell us the floor and the stairs

What decides the move most here is:

  • The floor at pickup and at delivery.
  • Whether there is an elevator and whether it fits the pieces.
  • The width of the stairs, the entrance and the flat, and any tight turns.
  • The distance between where the truck parks and the building door.

Send photos of the entrance, the stairs and the large pieces and we estimate the cost and time accurately. See also the guide to high floors and narrow stairs.

When is dismantling or a crane needed?

If a bedroom set or wardrobe does not pass through the stairs, the piece has to be dismantled before going down and assembled after delivery. If dismantling is not possible or the piece is heavy, the hydraulic crane lifts and lowers it from the balcony or window where the site allows. Mention large pieces in your message so we plan for it from the start. Service details are on the crane and dismantling and assembly pages.

Parking and narrow streets

A large truck may not be able to stop in front of the building. We agree with you on the truck size that the street allows, and we may need to carry pieces a short distance on foot. Tell us the street name and a nearby landmark, and send the location on Google Maps.

Choosing the date

Early morning is best to avoid traffic and midday heat, especially on high floors. Book a few days ahead, tell the neighbours and the building doorman about the date, and see the best time to move.

Where do we move?

We move within Ain Shams, and to and from Abbasiya, Heliopolis, Nasr City, Matareya, New Cairo, Giza and the other governorates. Details of the neighbouring area are on the Heliopolis moving page.

Moving-day checklist

  1. Tell us the floor, the elevator and the stair width.
  2. Send photos of the entrance and large pieces.
  3. Empty heavy drawers and wrap fragile items.
  4. Prepare numbered boxes and write the room name on each piece.
  5. Tell the neighbours and the doorman about the moving time.

Frequently asked questions

Do you move from a building with no elevator on a high floor?

Yes, we carry down the stairs with trained workers, dismantle large pieces when needed, or use the crane where the site allows. Tell us the floor and the stair width.

Does a narrow street affect the price?

It can, because it changes the truck size, the time and the number of workers. Send photos of the street and the entrance and we set the price after inspection.

Do you dismantle and assemble bedrooms and kitchens?

Yes, we dismantle and assemble bedroom sets and wardrobes, and we wrap and protect them during the move.

How much does a move in Ain Shams start from?

Prices start from EGP 1,200, and the final price is set after inspection based on size, floor, distance and extra services.
