The 2009 HIMSS Middle East Health IT Leadership Summit will be held at the Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa.

A hidden retreat set amid 124 acres of ocean and desert scenery just fifteen minutes from the Sultanate’s capital of Muscat, the luxurious Shangri-La's Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa expresses the welcoming heritage of Oman.

Shangri-La's Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa goes beyond the offering of other Oman resorts as it is comprised of three hotels, each of which caters to a variety of different needs. Al Waha (The Oasis), an ideal family vacation getaway, Al Bandar (The Town), in the heart of the resort where the conference facilities are located, and Al Husn (The Castle), an exclusive six-star indulgence. All three hotels are within walking distance of each other with hotel shuttles also available to guests.

CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La, is the most extensive and well-appointed private spa in Oman, with twelve treatment villas that create a sanctuary of personal rejuvenation and relaxation.
