Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest and largest observation wheel is set to open on October 21.
The 250-metre high wheel is located on Bluewaters Island and each glass-enclosed capsule rises up to 820 feet in the air and offers stunning 360-degree panorama views of the Dubai skyline. The highly-anticipated observation wheel will contain 48 air-conditioned passenger cabins and 1,750 visitors can take in the breathtaking experience in one revolution.
Ain Dubai will launch as the emirate’s latest attraction as it seeks to bring international visitors to the region following the lull in tourism caused by the global pandemic.
Mohamed Sharaf, Chief Operating Officer of Dubai Holding Entertainment, commented: “Ain Dubai plays a strategic role in supporting Dubai’s long-term vision to strengthen its global position as a key tourism hub. Ain Dubai is the ultimate celebration destination that has captured the imagination of the world, both overseas and residents in the UAE.”
The wheel will become the largest observation wheel in the world, eclipsing the 167-metre High Roller in Las Vegas and the 190-metre New York Wheel planned for Staten Island.
