When talking about record-breaking attractions, no one tops the modern desert city of Dubai. From the Burj Khalifa to the Dubai Frame, now, the Ain Dubai joins them as it has become the tallest and largest observation wheel in the world.
Double the size of the London Eye and thrice as luxe, the Ain Dubai joins the long list of the city’s amazing wonders. Set your sights high at this awesome ride, and prepare to marvel at the panoramic views.
In case you missed out on the Ain Dubai opening last October 21, here’s everything you need to know about Dubai’s newest ride—tickets, opening hours, and unique experiences!
How tall is Ain Dubai?
Up, up, and away!
Towering over the 168-meter High Roller at Las Vegas, the record-breaking Ain Dubai has a height of 250 meters. That’s about 820 feet above the ground—the world’s tallest! From the sky-high cabins, you can catch the spectacular view of the Dubai Marina, Burj Khalifa, and the dreamy Dubai skyline.
How big is it?
Besides height, Ain Dubai also trumps the London Eye in size. The imposing structure is constructed with 11,200 tons of steel to safely carry 1,750 people at the same time.
Ain Dubai—also known as the Dubai Eye—has a total of 48 luxurious cabins, each large enough to fit 40 passengers, or equivalent to two double-decker buses strapped side by side. Now that’s huge!
A 360-degree view that turns heads!
But, wait until you see the inside! The 30 square-meter capsules contain floor to ceiling windows, air conditioning, and, best yet, a cocktail lounge or mini bar for the whole gang. The Ain Dubai offers a 38-minute ride to enjoy the view in the coziest luxury observation wheel there is.
Things to do at Ain Dubai
Ain Dubai promises an unrivaled 360-degree view of the urban skyline, and true to their word, it’s a sight you’ll never forget, especially at 820 feet off the ground!
That said, the latest Dubai attraction takes it up a notch with unique experiences that will help you make the most out of the short ride.
Witness magical sunsets at the Dubai Eye
There are several luxe lounges you can ride in the Dubai Eye. These swanky cabins come with a sky bar, packed with bubbly, mocktails, and good music so you can party against the backdrop of the Dubai night sky with a luxurious lounge and drinks served by a professional bartender! Or, if you prefer eating during sunsets, there’s always the Jumeirah and Sushi package for your sushi cravings. Ain Dubai lets you experience fine dining high up in the sky!
You can even book a private cabin that can accommodate up to 20 people for special celebrations. Not a bad way to spend the holidays or your remaining vacation days, right?
Where is Ain Dubai?
Dubai Marina’s biggest ride!
The largest observation wheel in the world stands atop the man-made island of Bluewater, right across the pristine shores of the Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) Beachfront. It’s also near several of Dubai’s entertainment destinations such as Madame Tussauds, Splash Pad, Marina Walk, and more.
