The Shangri La Al Bandar being the middle of the range of three hotels suited us fine. Most the families were in the Shangri La Al Waha and businessmen in the Shangri La Al Husn,so we enjoyed a peaceful holiday which is what we needed.
Took the excursion to the Souk in Muscat - an unforgetable experience
Be in touch soon
