World tallest observation wheel to open in October
Ain Dubai, the world’s largest and tallest observation wheel located in the Bluewaters Island in Dubai. The wheel has 48 passenger cabins with a capacity of more than 1,750 visitors at a time, and is set to officially open on the 21st of October.
At nearly twice the height of the London Eye, Ain Dubai is located at Bluewaters Island and is the world’s largest and tallest observation wheel. It will take visitors to a height of 250 metres from where they could enjoy a majestic view of Dubai’s picturesque skyline.
Ain Dubai is the latest landmark to be hemmed into the growing skyline of Dubai and could soon feature among the top attractions in the city.
There are 48 pods on the wheel, with each pod allowing 10 people at a time. One rotation takes about 38 minutes, giving visitors spectacular views of Dubai’s landscape on one side and sea on the other.
“It comes as no surprise that Dubai has been a leader in the tourism sector for many years now...pioneering projects, taking on those that are seemingly impossible, and finding a way to make them possible. Ain Dubai sets the bar higher again,” said Mohamed Sharaf, CEO of Dubai Holding Entertainment.
“We’re at a point where we’re trying to reinvigorate tourism and travel back in Dubai and we can’t think of a better time to open this unique and celebratory asset than during the UAE’s Year of the 50th,” he said.
These specials are split into three main categories: Observation Cabins, Social Cabins and Private Cabins. Experiences start with one rotation of approximately 38 minutes, up to two rotations of approximately 76 minutes.
The Observation Cabins provide the perfect platform for those never-seen-before Instagrammable 360-degree views of Dubai.
