Sponsored: From takeaway turkeys to festive afternoon teas, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah does it all…

If you’re going to be spending the festive season in Ras Al Khaimah, The Ritz-Carlton is the place to be for getting in the holiday spirit.

This weekend the Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert is launching a festive afternoon tea at its cosy Farmhouse restaurant, overlooking the desert.

It’s a spread that will make even the most Grinchy of guests smile – think cinnamon-flavoured scones, mini yule logs, festive stollen, fois gras terrine and, of course, mince pies.

The festive afternoon tea will be served daily from November 24 until December 25 between 2pm and 5pm, and costs Dhs160 including a hot beverage, or Dhs260 including a hot beverage and two glasses of sparkling.

Meanwhile, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach is helping take the stress out of preparing a festive feast by offering a top quality turkey takeaway.

Prepared by the hotel’s team of chefs, the turkey comes with all the trimmings, including apple, celery and chestnut stuffing, market vegetables, mash potato, roasted maple glazed carrot and turnip, and cranberry sauce and gravy.

An 8-10kg turkey suitable for 10-12 guests costs Dhs799, and is available for pick up anytime between November 24 and December 25. You just need to order 48 hours in advance by calling 07 206 777.
