Laundry & Dry Cleaning at Nejoum Al Emarate Hotel.

Days spent walking between the Rolla shops leave a pile of T-shirts and trousers. Pay AED 60 for up to 6kg or AED 99 for up to 12kg, then AED 12 for every kilo beyond. Whites and colours go in separate loads, and the folded clothes reach your room by the next day.

Guests here wear clothes from across the region and South Asia. A saree is AED 40, a sherwani AED 40, a women's shalwar kurta AED 30, a men's AED 15 and a kandura AED 15. Given before noon, they return the same evening.

Clean outfits that just need pressing before an event. A bisht is AED 30, a saree AED 35, a three-piece salwar AED 25, a kandura AED 12 and a shirt on a hanger AED 9. All back on hangers within 24 hours.

Meant for people living in the flats around Rolla who send their own bedding; hotel linen is not part of it. Expect AED 50 for a duvet, AED 30 for a blanket, AED 40 for a big one and AED 18 per sheet. Bulky duvets need two days, other pieces one.

Formal shoes for a ballroom evening or sandals worn through the souqs. Formal pairs and trainers cost AED 55, sandals AED 45, boots AED 85, and a light restoration adds AED 50. Allow two to four days.

An evening clutch for a function or a tote filled on every shopping trip. Clutches, totes and standard handbags are AED 45, oversized handbags AED 55 and suitcases from AED 85. Three to five days.

Fabric and outfits bought in the Rolla shops that need finishing. A kameez body fitting is AED 55, a saree fall attachment AED 55, a kandura length AED 40 and a trouser hem AED 40. Ready in 48 to 72 hours.

Only for homes in Rolla and Al Ghuwair; the hotel's own furnishings are not included. We charge AED 20 per square metre for an ordinary carpet, AED 26 for wool, AED 20 for unlined curtains and AED 25 for blackout ones, returned after three days.

For wedding parties staying in Rolla. A wedding sherwani is AED 70, a wedding kandura AED 20, a wedding abaya AED 50, a bridal gown from AED 250 and a beaded one from AED 450. Allow seven to fourteen days.

Costumed characters booked for children's parties and ballroom celebrations get sweaty fast. Costs run from AED 200 for a small suit through AED 230 for a medium to AED 250 for a large, plus AED 30 per head or prop, ready after three to five days.

Children visiting relatives rarely travel without a cuddly companion. Cleaning one costs AED 55 if small, AED 70 if medium and AED 120 if large, with a gentle wash and a slow, thorough dry over two to three days.

Households near Rolla with zip-off majlis or sofa covers can send them in; the hotel's seating stays where it is. Expect AED 35 per standard cover, AED 40 per large one and AED 10, 15 or 20 per cushion cover, back in two to three days.

Leather picks up dust in the souqs. Cleaning and conditioning costs AED 150 for a jacket, AED 130 for a coat or blazer and AED 100 for a belt, wallet or similar small piece, and takes between three and five days.
