Muscat, 2017
– Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa has launched the ultimate cycling experience
with former pro Andreas Klöden, the Germany’s successful professional
cyclist.
Nestled
between the dramatic backdrop of rugged mountains and the pristine waters of
the Omani Gulf, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa is a fully
integrated destination resort spread across two hotel wings, Al Waha and Al
Bandar.
It is a great location for the training weekend, which takes place from 7 - 10
December 2017, with rolling hills and inclines along scenic roads through the
majestic Al Hajar Mountains combined with stunning views of the Gulf of Oman.
A paradise
for road cyclists, the resort offers cyclists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to spend three days cycling hundreds of kilometres tackling Oman’s renowned
climbs with the 2000 Olympic Games bronze medallist. Andreas Klöden’s other
major achievements include placing second at the 2004 and 2006 Tour de France.
During the
weekend, riders will be treated like pros and undergo pre-ride morning
briefings complete with route guides. Post-ride, guests can take advantage of
the resort’s spa and leisure facilities, with a 60-minute recovery massage at
CHI, The Spa included in the package, before sitting down to dinner with
Andreas Klöden to reflect on a memorable day of cycling.

20-minute drive from downtown Muscat and 45-minutes from Muscat International
Airport, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa is a great place to
train alongside the German Olympian.
