Doha, Qatar: Hamad International Airport (HIA) anticipates welcoming over four million passengers from around the world this Ramadan, offering a variety of unique experiences designed to inspire moments of reflection and connection throughout the holy month.

This year's highlight is The Orchard, the indoor garden that serves as the centerpiece of the airport's Ramadan transformation. Drawing inspiration from the lunar cycle; a mesmerizing installation encapsulates the essence of the holy month, and represents the various phases of the moon. From the initial crescent that signals the start of Ramadan to the final crescent that marks the celebration of Eid Al-Fitr.

As passengers move through The Orchard this Ramadan, evolving lights, sculptural forms and interactive features transform the garden pathways into moments of pause and contemplation, where the lunar phases are revealed and passengers are invited to engage with the cyclical intention of the holy month.

Calm Majlis-style areas inspired by traditional spaces of gathering across the region, are arranged throughout the lower level of the tropical garden, with ambient lighting.
