Ain Dubai Officially Reopens: Everything You Need to Know
Two years and nine months after its closure, Ain Dubai—the world’s largest observation wheel—has officially reopened. First opened on October 21, 2021, Ain Dubai is a marvel of modern engineering and a must-visit attraction. Standing 250 meters tall, it’s the tallest and largest observation wheel in the world—82 meters taller than Las Vegas’ High Roller and nearly double the size of the London Eye.
Its 48 cabins offer unparalleled 360-degree views of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, including Bluewaters Island, Dubai Marina, JBR, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, and the Arabian Gulf.
