Moving companies in the UAE you can reach on WhatsApp: 112+ with a mobile number

On 2026-10-21 we searched Google Maps for “moving company” in each of the four largest emirates and counted the open businesses whose listing shows a UAE mobile number (+971 5x), the kind of number that is normally on WhatsApp. Result: at least 112 moving companies, most of them in Abu Dhabi.

Count by emirate

Emirate	Moving companies with a mobile number
Dubai	32
Sharjah	28
Ajman	11
Abu Dhabi	41
Total	112

Method: Google Places text search, English results, region UAE, service-area businesses included, up to three result pages (60 listings) per emirate. Only operational businesses with an address in that emirate and a +971 5x number are counted. Because of the 60-result cap, every number above is a lower bound: the real count is higher, especially in Dubai.
