This Emirati Women’s Month, ME by Meliá Dubai turns the spotlight on women through art, self-care and a little extra indulgence. At the heart of the celebrations, acclaimed Emirati artist Fatma Lootah is taking over the hotel’s Level 3 Art Gallery with a powerful collection exploring femininity, memory and identity. Beyond the exhibition, Wellness by ME is giving guests more time to switch off with an additional 30 minutes complimentary on every treatment, while women checking in can enjoy a complimentary room upgrade and matcha over breakfast.
From moments of reflection to moments of pure indulgence, August is all about celebrating women and giving them a little more – more time, more space and more reasons to enjoy the occasion.
Emirati Women’s Month Exhibition with Fatma Lootah:
Art takes centre stage as ME by Meliá Dubai welcomes a special exhibition by acclaimed Emirati artist Fatma Lootah, presented in collaboration with Art in the Middle. As one of the UAE’s distinctive contemporary artists, Lootah brings a deeply personal Emirati perspective to her practice, exploring identity, memory, femininity and heritage through works shaped by her connection to place and time. The exhibition brings together three selected works, The Two Women (2021), The Violet Dress (2015) and Grandma (2022), each revealing a different expression of womanhood, from connection and individuality to elegance, quiet strength and the enduring presence of generations past.
Together, the three works tell a story that feels especially poignant during Emirati Women’s Month, moving between generations and reflecting on the women, memories and traditions that shape identity. Displayed within ME by Meliá Dubai’s Level 3 Art Gallery, surrounded by the fluid interiors designed by Zaha Hadid, the exhibition invites guests to experience Lootah’s work up close and discover the stories behind each piece. Running from 20 August until 30 September, it offers a meaningful celebration of Emirati artistic expression and the many ways womanhood, heritage and identity continue to be carried forward.
