Al Husn ceiling

We went south from Muscat to have lunch with friends from Riyadh who were staying at Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa. The resort comprises three hotels: a luxurious one, a business one and one for families.

This is the ceiling in the lobby of the Al Husn Hotel, the most upscale of the three, although all were nice.

The complex is a bit of a drive from Muscat and I think is perfect for people who want to spend all their time there in the pool and on the beach and not do much sightseeing. That isn’t us (no pictures, eek!), so I’m quite pleased we stayed at the Al Bustan Palace instead!

Another picture posted today of the Al Husn courtyard:

Stunning ceiling! As others have commented, there certainly seems to be an optical illusion here. Fabulous capture of this bit of sumptuousness. V
