Ain Dubai is the world's largest and tallest observation wheel. It is 250 meters high, double the height of the United Kingdom's London Eye, and can carry a total of 1,750 guests.
The enormous wheel is located on Bluewaters Island, a vibrant lifestyle destination which offers retail, hospitality and entertainment options. And in case you didn't know, the name, Ain Dubai, derives from the sixteenth letter in the Arabic alphabet (Ayn), which translates to eye in English.
Ain Dubai remains closed until further notice as we continue to rigorously work on completing the enhancement works that have been taking place over the past months. Once a reopening date is set, a further announcement will be made.
