When planning a trip to Abu Dhabi one of the questions that will most likely pop up is where to stay. The only right answer to that question is the Shangri-La hotel.
It’s one of the only hotels that offers an all round view over the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Plus the entire hotel is so beautifully decorated that as soon as you walk in you’ll feel like you’re in a scene from 1001 Arabian Nights.
