This Ramadan, Dubai’s skies are not just for stargazing. The Dubai Balloon at Atlantis, The Palm, brings you Echoes of the Crescent, a bold fusion of art, heritage, and jaw-dropping views. From 1st March to 30th March 2025, this art exhibition transforms the space into a cultural wonderland. But here’s the twist, your ticket to the balloon ride is also your pass to this artistic journey.
Art Takes Flight This Ramadan At The Dubai Balloon
Once you float back down from those panoramic views, the story continues. The balloon’s lounge, foyer, and terrace switch gears from a tourist pitstop into a gallery bursting with creative energy. This isn’t just some standard Ramadan decoration situation at Dubai Balloon. Echoes of the Crescent spotlights the work of emerging UAE artists, showing off their talent with installations, paintings, and thought-provoking pieces rooted in culture.
Each corner whispers tales of the region’s history, heritage, and artistic flair. Whether you’re an art lover, a culture vulture, or just someone hunting for a fresh Ramadan experience, this creative showcase serves up something special.
You just need a Regular Pass (AED 175 per adult / AED 75 per child) or a Fast Pass (AED 275 per adult / AED 125 per child) to unlock both the skyline and the art-filled experience.
Meet The Creative Minds Behind The Magic
This isn’t your average art exhibition with fancy frames and polite claps. Echoes of the Crescent brings together artists who know how to stir the soul.
- Haneen Al Rifai (Aitch by Haneen): Haneen embraces imperfection like a true rebel. Inspired by Wabi-Sabi, her sculptural creations breathe life into old, repurposed materials. Her work proves that beauty lives in flaws and sustainability can look stunning.
- Maria Munteanu: Maria paints emotions onto canvas, blending realism with bold strokes. Her work bridges cultures and dives deep into the human experience, celebrating identity in all its messy, magical glory.
Together, these artists turn The Dubai Balloon into a floating tribute to heritage, reflection, and community spirit.

Every piece tells a story, every view from the balloon adds a layer, and every moment spent in the gallery nudges you to pause and reflect.
The combination of culture and sky-high views creates an experience that’s equal parts peaceful and powerful. Whether you visit with family, and friends, or fly solo, you’ll leave with a deeper connection to the UAE’s creative pulse. Come for the views, stay for the art, and leave with stories worth sharing.
