Ain Dubai: Everything About the World’s Tallest Wheel

Dubai’s new attraction, Ain Dubai, adds a super impressive observation wheel to the already never-ending ‘must-see list.’ The new Ferris wheel on Bluewaters Island has drawn a lot of attention and anticipation since its announcement.

It is also the latest jewel in Dubai Holding’s enormous entertainment crown. Here's everything you need to know about the largest observation wheel.

What Is the Ain Dubai?

Ain Dubai is a giant observation wheel that is set to be the world’s tallest. It took over two years to build and is set to be fully operational by the summer of 2018. The wheel is part of the much-anticipated Bluewaters Island. It will be the focal point of the island and will be visible for miles around.

The giant observation wheel will be able to house up to 2,500 people per ride and is scheduled to make its debut on October 21, 2021. It will be operating from sunrise to sunset every day, so you will always be able to see it as you traverse the city.

How Big Is the Ain Dubai?

The Ain Dubai stands proudly at 250 meters. This is bigger than High Roller in Las Vegas (168 meters), Singapore Flyer (165 meters), Star of Nanchang in China (160 meters), and the London Eye (135 meters).

Cool Facts About the Ain Dubai

Ain Dubai will hold the record for being the world’s tallest observation wheel until the completion of the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah. It will beat London Eye by 72 meters.

Ain Dubai is made up of 40 cabins (20 three-seat and 20 two-seat) and is the world’s largest observation wheel. Each cabin will contain enough floor space to accommodate four people.
