Movers in International City
International City is a high-rise residential area in Dubai of country-themed low-rise apartment clusters, typically Studios to 2-bedroom apartments. Clusters are named by country and buildings within them look identical; the exact building code matters. We reach it in about 15 minutes from Dubai International (DXB), and a move here is usually a single day.
What makes moving in International City different?
Clusters are named by country and buildings within them look identical; the exact building code matters. Five-storey blocks with small lifts, and parking congestion is severe in the evenings.
Getting a truck into International City
In a tower the building sets the schedule, not you. One service lift often serves the whole block and is shared with contractors and other moves on the same morning. Five-storey blocks with small lifts, and parking congestion is severe in the evenings.
Permits and building access in International City
Towers require written approval from building management, normally with the tenancy contract, the mover’s trade licence and proof of insurance, three to five working days ahead. Most also hold a refundable deposit against damage to lifts and lobbies. International City sits under Nakheel, so their community rules apply on top of anything the individual building asks for.
Moving between International City and nearby areas
Short hops inside Dubai are some of the most common work we do here. International City borders Al Warsan, Al Warqa, Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) and Mirdif, and a move between any two of those is normally a single day because the drive is minutes rather than hours. The variable is the access at each end, not the distance: two lift bookings have to line up on the same day, and a morning slot at one end with an afternoon slot at the other stretches a short move across two visits.
