From 18 February to 19 March 2026, Hero Experiences Group is presenting a curated collection of Ramadan experiences designed to encourage reflection, cultural connection, and shared celebration. Across its two brands — The Dubai Balloon and Platinum Heritage Dubai — residents and visitors can explore a Dubai Ramadan desert safari or take to the skies, all set against the city's iconic skyline and golden desert landscapes.
The Dubai Balloon at Atlantis: Ramadan Above the City
Located on The Palm at Atlantis The Palm, The Dubai Balloon is offering a 25 per cent discount throughout Ramadan. Described as the only 360-degree open-air aerial observatory on The Palm, the attraction provides sweeping panoramic views of Dubai's skyline.
The Ramadan promotion is valid on flights between 18 February and 19 March 2026. Guests can access the offer by booking online using the promo code RAMADAN25 or by purchasing tickets directly at the Atlantis ticketing office.
Heritage Desert Safari: A Ramadan Evening Inspired by Bedouin Traditions
Set within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the Heritage Desert Safari offers a cultural programme rooted in Bedouin customs. The experience begins with a nature drive in a vintage Land Rover, followed by a sunset falcon show.
Guests hear stories from an Emirati storyteller about Ramadan traditions and their historical significance. Iftar is served in traditional Bedouin style with dates, laban, and Emirati cuisine. The evening continues with live drumming and Yola performances, followed by a guided astronomy session highlighting the role of constellations in desert navigation and the marking of Ramadan.
Platinum Desert Safari: An Elevated Ramadan Journey
For a more private setting, the Platinum Desert Safari takes place on Royal desert grounds. Guests travel through the reserve in a Land Rover Defender with a professional Conservation Guide before attending a falconry demonstration at sunset.
The evening includes arrival by camel to a lantern-lit desert oasis, where Arabic coffee and dates are served. Dinner is curated in collaboration with a Michelin-starred chef and enjoyed in private cabanas. The programme concludes with a fire performance and a stargazing session reflecting on Bedouin navigation and Ramadan traditions.
Bedouin Culture Safari: Storytelling and Shared Knowledge
During Ramadan, the Bedouin Culture Safari places a special focus on storytelling. Guests engage with Bedouin hosts who share insights into fasting, communal gatherings, and the role of self-reflection in Emirati heritage.
Through these seasonal programmes, Hero Experiences Group highlights cultural preservation and meaningful Ramadan experiences across Dubai's skyline and desert settings.
