Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel.

For households living in the serviced residences, a weekly bag is simpler than a machine. Up to 6kg costs AED 60 and up to 12kg AED 99, with AED 12 for every extra kilo. Washed, dried and folded by the next day, separated by family member if you ask.

White kanduras for Friday prayers, abayas for visits and jalabiyas for evenings. A kandura is AED 15, a basic abaya AED 18 and a delicate one AED 35, a jalabiya AED 20 and a ghutra AED 8. Hand them over before noon and they come back the same day.

Washed at home but no time to iron. A kandura is AED 12 to press, a basic abaya AED 10, a shirt on a hanger AED 9 and a hijab AED 10. Everything is pressed and back at Bahi Ajman Palace within a day.
