The Shangri-La Qaryat Al-Beri superbly designed hotel opened at the end of 2008, based on the Shangri La concept with elegant Arabian accents. The hotel is 20 minutes away from Abu Dhabi city overlooking the 1km stretch of private beach and the magnificent Grand Mosque. A uniquely designed set of waterways with abras take guests to different parts of the hotel and restaurants. The rooms are exquisite and a mini shopping souk can keep you occupied as well as one of the five tempting pools.
