to a year to bring themselves into line.<\/p>\n<p>The rules apply to residential buildings, walled residential complexes and mobile cabins on project sites, and several of them bear directly on a

national compliance drive announced in March 2026 asks establishments with 20 or more workers to regularise their housing, either by licensing it through Balady or by contracting a licensed housing provider.<\/p>\n<p>The second route is the reason many Riyadh contractors now buy beds and meals as a service instead of renting a villa and hiring a cook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more\"><a href=\"\/labour-camp-requirements-saudi-arabia\/\">Read the full labour camp requirements checklist<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Where in Riyadh should your workers live?<\/h2>\n<p>Riyadh is a wide city, and the location of the beds decides how long your crew spends on a bus before and after every shift.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the industrial demand sits in the south-east, around the Second Industrial City, which runs along the Al Kharj Road within the Al Sulay sub-municipality and is overseen by MODON.<\/p>\n<p>Housing in the same corridor keeps commutes short for factory, warehouse and maintenance crews, while crews on projects in the north or west of the city are usually better served by beds closer to those sites, even at a higher rate.<\/p>\n<p>Before you compare offers, map the route from the accommodation to the site at the real shift start time, not at midday, and ask the provider how long the bus actually takes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box\"><b>Practical tip<\/b><p>Ask for the accommodation&#8217;s licence and Civil Defence approval in writing before you pay a deposit, and check that the licensed capacity covers your headcount.<\/p><p>A building that is licensed for fewer beds than you need is a compliance risk for you as well as for the operator.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>How do meals work in a Riyadh accommodation contract?<\/h2>\n<p>Most contracts follow the same daily rhythm: breakfast before the bus leaves, lunch delivered to site, and dinner at the accommodation after the shift.<\/p>\n<p>The details that separate a good caterer from a poor one are the menu cycle, how food is kept hot or cold on the way to site, and how quickly the kitchen adapts to a new shift pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Menus should reflect the nationalities in your crew, with rice, bread, lentils, vegetables and a protein every day, and should change on a cycle so that the same dish does not return every few days.<\/p>\n<p>During Ramadan the pattern shifts to iftar and suhoor, and the kitchen plan should say so in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Every food handler in the kitchen needs a valid municipal health certificate, issued through the Balady platform after a medical examination and valid for one year.<\/p>\n<p>Ask to see those certificates and the caterer&#8217;s food safety system, such as ISO 22000, before the first meal is served.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more\"><a href=\"\/labour-catering-price-per-person-per-day-saudi-arabia\/\">See how labour catering is priced per person per day<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Can I book a few beds for a short period in Riyadh?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, and it is one of the most common requests we receive from Riyadh.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks buyers have asked for beds with meals for a dozen people for two weeks, for around 25 people for three months, and for 30 workers for a full year.<\/p>\n<p>Short stays are possible, but they change the commercial picture, so expect the following differences.<\/p>\n<ul><li>The daily rate is usually higher for short stays, because set-up and cleaning costs are spread over fewer days.<\/li><li>Small groups are usually placed in rooms within a shared licensed building rather than in a dedicated block.<\/li><li>Transport is easier to share when your site is on an existing bus route.<\/li><li>A fixed end date with an option to extend avoids paying for empty beds.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>For 12 months or more, ask for a dedicated block or floor, a fixed monthly rate and a written service level for meals, cleaning and maintenance.<\/p>\n<h2>What drives the cost per person per day?<\/h2>\n<p>Prices vary widely across Riyadh, so it is more useful to understand the factors than to compare a single headline number.<\/p>\n<table class=\"mtr-table
