Shangri-la Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi Offers Guests a Chance to Win a Diamond with its Afternoon Tea
The competition is in collaboration with Diamond Gallery and will run for three months.
Diners with a taste for the finer things in life are invited to enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea at Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi and have a chance to take home a diamond.
As part of its popular ‘Dessert in the Desert’ afternoon tea concept, the hotel has teamed up with its resident jewellery boutique, Diamond Gallery, for a special promotion to give away the precious gem to one lucky guest. The competition, which will run for three months, is open to all diners who book the afternoon tea.
Once the treats have been served, guests will be asked to choose between Diamond Gallery boxes displayed in the hotel lobby. Three of the boxes contain real diamonds, while the others contain zirconium. Those who choose correctly could round off a wonderful afternoon of delicious bites with a gem of a prize.
The experts at the Diamond Gallery boutique will then verify if the box chosen from among 100 others contains a diamond or zirconium. The grand prize is worth AED5,000, while the two smaller gems are worthAED2,000. Guests who participate in the raffle and do not win a diamond will not go home empty-handed. Vouchers worth AED250 will be given to the first 500 participants.
The ‘Dessert in the Desert’ afternoon tea menu created by Executive Chef and his culinary team features an extensive selection of scones, savoury bites and pastries infused with local ingredients. Chocolate, golden raisin and plain scones are served with a side of clotted cream, strawberry jam and whipped medjool date butter.
For those who prefer savoury treats, there is a selection of delicious snacks like Sumac-Spiced Grilled Chicken Brochette, Turkey Ham and Arabian Cheese Wrap, Gulf Prawn Cocktail and Crispy Pita Crouton with Hummus.
