There’s a perception among UAE residents, and especially internationally, that Dubai is the center of magnitude – that the UAE is somehow represented only thru the luxury lens of Dubai.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Case in point, admire the high tea presented at the Radisson Blu in Ajman…

Indeed, a masterful arrangement – the envy of any hotel worthy of a weekend staycation, and in terms of the balance between visual appeal and actual excellence of flavors, second to none!

Because it is one thing to assemble an impressive tower of colorful delicacies; but it is totally a different universe to not get lost in the visuals and lose track of the culinary perspective.

The fruits, perfectly ripe and sweet on the palate… not just for glitzy show.

The scones home-made, and the smoked salmon with cream cheese at the perfect temperature… totally delicious!

I highlight this particular aspect of our staycation at the Radisson Blu in Ajman as an example, as a gateway to understanding that the UAE does not end at Dubai – in fact, I would be hard-pressed to find such a treat in Dubai at the same price point.

And so you might initially roll your eyes at the idea of a weekend in Ajman, but you would be surprised!

Ajman certainly deserves a chance – and if you are living or visiting the UAE, I would encourage you to expand your experience and viewpoint by visiting the Radisson Blu in Ajman.

Maybe they just try harder, and don’t get lost in the factory-feel anonimity of floods of visitors each year?

Or perhaps they are better able to leverage lower costs of operations, for the benefit of their honored guests?

Whatever the reason, the Radisson Blu Ajman opens their arms, and offers a splendid hotel appointed to the highest levels of hospitality.

A full array of facilities are at your disposal.

Both modern and traditional, the Radisson Blu Ajman celebrates the heritage of Ajman, and the UAE at large, offering pleasant nooks and corners of legendary Arabian hospitality.

And fully-licensed venues…

With a multitude of restaurants, lounges, a rooftop sheesha cafe, a signature Italian outlet, an all-day dining venue, poolside snacks and drinks, and even a jazz bar!

All in all, a staycation at the Radisson Blu Ajman opens the experience of appreciating one of the lesser-known emirates, where pride of Ajmani tradition will welcome you with open arms.
