You’re strolling along the beaches overlooking the Gulf of Oman, the scent of frankincense wafting through the air, as you prepare to embark on an adventure that few travellers ever experience.
Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah and Shangri-La Al Husn in Muscat are pulling back the curtain, offering guests a backstage pass to the wonders of Oman with two extraordinary experiences that will leave you spellbound.
Become a Guardian of the Sea: A Turtle Ranger’s Tale
Ever dreamed of being a wildlife conservationist? Now’s your chance! Don your imaginary ranger hat and join the mission to protect Oman’s endangered sea turtles. As you patrol the resort’s secluded beaches – among the top five nesting sites in Oman – you’ll learn the art of safeguarding these ancient mariners.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there! For the truly adventurous, dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Oman on a guided snorkeling expedition. Come face-to-face with these gentle creatures in their natural habitat – it’s like stepping into your own personal National Geographic documentary!
A Sensory Journey Through Oman’s Soul
Prepare your senses for an explosion of flavors, aromas, and traditions as you embark on a cultural odyssey led by none other than Khalid Al Amri, the world’s first Omani Frankincense Sommelier. (Yes, that’s a real thing, and it’s as cool as it sounds!)
Your journey begins with a stroll through the resort’s hidden nooks, uncovering architectural gems and artistic treasures. Then, step into a fragrant oasis – the resort’s own Frankincense garden. Here, Khalid will unveil the secrets of this aromatic resin, prized since ancient times.
But wait, there’s more! Learn the art of serving traditional Arabic coffee like a true Omani, while savoring local delicacies that will transport your taste buds to the bustling souks of Muscat.
The grand finale? Don an apron and channel your inner chef as you learn to whip up an authentic Omani feast under the guidance of the resort’s culinary wizards. Then, savor the fruits of your labor in one of the resort’s swanky restaurants. It’s like starring in your own episode of MasterChef: Oman Edition!
So, dear traveler, are you ready to trade the ordinary for the extraordinary? Shangri-La Muscat awaits, ready to show you an Oman you never knew existed. Book your backstage pass now and prepare for a holiday that’s anything but run-of-the-mill!
