Back in the UAE and ready to enjoy the cities best Iftars:)

The Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi hosts this fabulous Iftar Feast with copious amounts of food all displayed beautifully in this warm and inviting setting.  Not only is the array of food impressive, but so is their hospitality.  As we approached the entrance of the hotel, there was a mad dash to make it inside before sundown.  The traffic became  more congested, and everyone's rumbling tummies became more anxious at the thought of the delectable goodies that waited ahead.  Attending to the long lines of waiting cars was the hotel staff with trays of dates for the hungry patrons to break their fast.  Once we made it to the hotel entrance, we were greeted by a welcoming committee carrying trays of fresh fruit juice, bottles of water, and hot towels.  This was hospitality at its finest!

To begin there was Mezze as far as the eye can see!

A Mountain of dates acts as the center piece for the Tagine station.  Included in the variety of food was an open flame Grill, Indian, Asian, Seafood, Traditional Emirati fair, and fresh baked bread.....

No buffet would be complete without dessert.  Check out the Triple Chocolate fountains! White, Dark, and Milk....they got it all covered....

There were a couple other goodies as well, ranging from Arabic sweets....

to a Fresh Crepe, Waffle, and Ice Cream Sundae Bar.

I have a sugar high from just writing about all these sweets:)
