This painting workshop includes a trip to the sky with Dubai Balloon
Taking creativity to new heights (literally)…
If you love to get creative, you most likely have been to a paint and grape here in Dubai. Well, this new painting session will take things to a whole new level, a sky-high one.
Fosc.Art has teamed up with The Dubai Balloon for a really cool collab packing those who sign up for an evening of creativity followed by breathtaking skyline views from one of Dubai's soaring attractions.
The session begins at 4pm where you will enjoy a relaxing drink and a painting session led by Fosc Art. The masterpiece you will be creating? A stunning, colourful Dubai skyline scene.
Don't know where to start? Don't worry, whether you're a pro with the paintbrushes and know your colour combinations or if you haven't held a brush since middle school, you're invited to attend and will be guided by the helpful team. And they really know their stuff. All you have to do is come with a fun and brave can-do attitude.
Post your painting session, you will be able to hop on board the Dubai Balloon which will lift your spirits further by taking you on a ride to the sky.
Need a refresher on the Dubai Balloon? The Dubai Balloon is an attraction that launched back in 2023, and takes passengers up to 300 metres high, offering impressive views across the city. Its prime location in Palm Jumeirah means that you'll be able to see as far out as Burj Khalifa and beyond on a clear day.
The best news? You will take to the sky at sundown, so expect to see the Dubai sky painted with gorgeous yellow, orange, and golden hues.
Its doughnut-shaped platform means you can walk around to get the best views of the city and the sea. The flight duration isn't too long, so make the most of your trip. Once it's done, the tethered rope will gently pull the balloon back down to ground level.
At the moment, this is a one-time-only event taking place on Saturday, April 19 from 4pm. So you don't want to miss out. Go with your partner for a fun and different date experience, with your friends, or even your whole family for a lovely bonding experience.
But, if this is what you're thinking, this colourful experience is going to put a huge dent in your wallet; it really won't. The whole experience will cost you just Dhs300 per adult, and Dhs160 per child. In addition to your Art and Fly experience, you will also get to enjoy a cool beverage.
Bookings can be made here.
See you there!
Fosc.Art x The Dubai Balloon, Atlantis the Palm, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, April 19, 4pm, Dhs300 per adult, Dhs160 per child. Tel: (0)50 877 0426. @fosc.art @thedubaiballoon

Why Gigi Rigolatto might be the best day-to-night hangout in Dubai
Sponsored: Cabanas, cocktails and a coastal state of mind… When a single dinner reservation just isn't enough, Gigi Rigolatto gives you all-day rhythm, Italian flair, and front-row views at J1 Beach. Whether you're in it for the tan, the pasta, or the playlist – Gigi Rigolatto is the perfect spot for a full-day escape. From plush sun-beds and private cabanas to golden-hour cocktails and people-watching with a side of truffle pasta, it's where you eat, post up, and watch the vibe evolve from lazy lunch to lively night. Here's how to make the most of your day at J1 Beach's signature spot. Start with a sun-bed Roll in from 10am and claim your spot – poolside for Dhs400, or beachside for Dhs300. Prefer something a little more tucked away? The private cabanas (Ischia, Capri, Elba and co.) come with welcome platters, extra shade, and weekend energy all week long. Priced at Dhs2000 on weekdays, and Dhs4000 on weekends. Take lunch inside By midday, slide inside or onto the breezy terrace (yes, it's enclosed and chilled in summer). The menu stays classic and crisp – seasonal antipasti, fresh pasta, a perfect plate of something creamy, something grilled, and always something to share. Chase the sunset at the Bellini Bar Golden hour hits different here – the lighting softens, the beats kick in, and the first round lands at your table. Start with the signature Bellini, stay for whatever the bartender's mixing next. It's the most photogenic time of day – just don't spend it all behind your phone. Dinner picks up where day left off When the sun sets, the tempo lifts, dinner turns social fast – low lights, a dressed-up crowd, tables dotted with flickering candles and espresso martinis. Whether you're planning to linger late or just came for pasta and a playlist, Gigi's night vibe feels like the afterparty you didn't have to change for. Gigi Rigolatto, J1 Beach, Jumeirah 1, Dubai.
