| From | Distance to Al Batha | Distance to Dubai | Transit |

Dismantling and packing in the east-coast climate
- Humidity: Dammam and Khobar are on the Gulf, so fabrics are dried and sealed in tight film.
- Dismantling: bedrooms and wardrobes, with numbered fixings.
- Glass and mirrors: bubble wrap, corrugated card and corner guards.
- Appliances: foam corners, with air conditioners removed by a technician.
- The list: numbered, and checked the next day at delivery.
