Ain Dubai
It is the world’s biggest and tallest observation wheel located on Bluewaters Island, near the Dubai Marina in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Ain Dubai (previously named the Dubai Eye or Dubai-I). It is the world’s tallest and largest observation wheel, with a height of over 250 m (820 ft). Ain Dubai is 82.4 m (270 ft) taller than the previous world’s tallest observation wheel, the 167.6 m (550 ft) High Roller, which opened in Las Vegas in March 2014. The wheel carries up to 1,750 passengers in its 48 luxurious cabins and provides views of Dubai Marina and landmarks such as Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Khalifa.
Dubai is known to break the already broken World Records. It has come true now even in the case of the largest Ferris wheel in the world. Previously The London Eye was the largest Ferris Wheel in the world which is present in the Thames. Now, this title goes to the upcoming AIN Dubai Ferris Wheel which is present in the Bluewater islands off the coast of JBR Beach.
The Ferris Wheel has got 48 glass capsules which are of 30 square meters in size which can accommodate 40 peoples comfortably. Since the capsules are made of glass it provides its viewers a 360-degree view of the city. The AIN Dubai is 210 meters tall which is pretty much taller than most of the skyscrapers of the world. This is in fact close to the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. So, one can easily see all the other important sightseeing spots in Dubai very easily. The Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and the Burj Al Arab provide a spectacular show to the viewers when viewed from the Bird’s eye View of the AIN Dubai.
There is also an option of VIP capsules which just holds 12 persons per capsule and can have their food and drinks by enjoying the spectacular view of the city. An all-around trip of the Ferris Wheel takes about 45 minutes for a capsule. The displays in the capsule also provide all the information about the city when the ride starts.
