Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa has been supporting Saffanah Yiti school, a local school built for Omani children who are less fortunate financially, as part of its EMBRACE programme. In October 2013, the resort donated used tables and chairs to the school for use in its classrooms. Another project entailed repainting the school’s interior walls and installing proper curtains in the classrooms to allow the children to learn in an environment that is more conducive for educating. The programme was aided by the resort’s dedicated CSR committee. Many employees have volunteered to assist with the charitable cause. On many occasions, SLMU has invited the children of Saffanah Yiti school to enjoy playtime at the Adventure Zone.
Join us in this cause.

In line with our commitment to biodiversity conservation, the group launched Sanctuary, Shangri-La's Care for Nature Project.
At Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa, Sultanate of Oman, we have the Turtle Care Project which aims to protect the endangered hawksbill and green turtles species native to the beaches of Oman. A dedicated turtle ranger has been appointed to ensure the nests are sheltered from any threats and to raise awareness amongst guests and local communities alike on the plight of turtles through educational activities such as talks and viewings.
