Laundry & Dry Cleaning at City Tower Hotel Fujairah.

The cheapest way to keep clean clothes on a longer stay. T-shirts, jeans, sleepwear and towels you brought go in one bag: AED 60 for 6kg, AED 99 for 12kg and AED 12 per kilo more. Folded and back at City Tower within 24 hours, ready to go straight into the wardrobe.

Keep dry cleaning for the pieces that cannot be washed. A shirt or kandura is AED 15, trousers AED 18, a skirt AED 21 and a blazer AED 40. Handed over before 12 pm, they come back that same evening, pressed and on hangers.

Clean clothes that just need ironing cost less. A shirt or T-shirt on a hanger is AED 9, trousers or jeans AED 12, a skirt AED 12 and a kandura AED 12. Ironed and returned to City Tower Hotel within 24 hours, so a few clean shirts stretch across the whole week.

For people who rent flats around Lulu and the city centre, not for hotel rooms. Bed sheets are AED 18 to wash, pillowcases AED 7, a blanket AED 30 and a duvet AED 50. One day, or two for a big duvet.

Trainers dusty from Fujairah streets or sandals worn on the beach. Sports trainers are AED 55 to clean, sandals and espadrilles AED 45, children’s shoes AED 35. Ready in two to four days, cleaned inside and out.

Small repairs that save buying new clothes. Jeans shortened for AED 40, a torn seam fixed for AED 40, a single shirt button for AED 15 and a trouser zip for AED 40. Two to three days.
