Dubai Eye Ferris Wheel – The Most Highly Anticipated Attraction In UAE!
Ain Dubai is going to be the world’s largest and tallest Ferris wheel that will give you a stunning 360-degree of the delicate and sightseeing skyline and landmarks of Dubai. It is almost twice the size of the London Eye.
OPENING AND LOCATION
This amazing experience is coming soon right on 21st October 2020 at Bluewaters Island, near the Dubai Marina in Dubai. Being located on Bluewaters Dubai means Ain Dubai will join the Caesars Palace and Caesars Resort.
OPENING HOURS
The attraction will be open daily from noon (the exact time has not been decided yet) to 10 PM.
A LOOK IN THE HISTORY OF Dubai Ferris Wheel
Previously, this grand wheel was named as Dubai Eye, and construction was announced in February 2013. Construction was started in May 2015 and they aimed to complete it in the mid of 2019 with the start of the Dubai Expo. But due to the severe pandemic of COVID-19, its construction was delayed. So now, the new dates of its opening have been announced that will coincide with the Expo Dubai 2021.
-COMPETITION WITH THE ROLLERS OF LAS VEGAS
The constructors and designers aim to make this wheel the largest wheel in the whole World with an incredible height of 250m. It will be taller than the current world’s tallest observation wheel in Las Vegas with a height of 167m (550 ft), which opened in March 2014. Isn’t it a thriller and exciting? The hypnotic view of Dubai from the largest wheel of the world will surely give you a feeling that you will never describe in your words.
-ABOUT THE DESIGN OF AIN DUBAI
The monument is an amazing and perfect feat of construction. Each leg of the wheel is standing with a height of 126m and the weight of the assembled hub and spindle is equal to 4 A380 aircraft. The wheel is completely safe and surrounded by unforgettable experiences and enchanting views of Dubai.
-A PERFECT ARABIC NAME-“AIN DUBAI”
The name perfectly defines the beauty of this wheel. 1st of all, the stunning wheel was given the name of “Dubai Eye” but that looked so odd and seems to be a copy of the name of London’s wheel “London Eye”. So they turned the name into an Arabic version as in Arabic Ain means Eye.
SOAR INTO THE SKY!
-FIRST IMPRESSION OF DUBAI FERRIS WHEEL! Dubai believes that “First Impression is the Last Impression”. And it has made this happen that the 1st impression of this attraction must be breathtaking. Ain Dubai is truly a masterpiece of art. Not only the wheel, but the base area is a piece worth seeing. On entry, you will be oppressed to say WOW!
- THE RECEPTION AREA
On your entry, you will find a modern and well-maintained reception area with a white interior and huge columns. The ceiling will draw your attention and you will be amazed to see the transparent section of the ceiling. Through a transparent section, visitors can see the rotation of the wheel.
- ENTRYWAY INTO CABINS
After completely praising the interior of the reception, you will lead up a staircase. These stairs will take you to the platform from where you will be able to get into the pods. The whole place is crafted with glass panels so you can have insight into slowly moving pods. The place is perfect and luxurious to take classy pictures. Also, the rotation of the wheel won’t stop. The pods will remain rotating but the speed will be too slow and each pod will get a specific time slot so the passengers can head themselves in. Like in the metro, an announcement will be made as a reminder to the passengers that the doors are about to open or close, so the visitors will make themselves ready to hop in and out. And if in case you miss the announcement, then there are two large screens on the pods that will display visuals to remind you. -HOW THE CABINS LOOK LIKE AND WHAT DO THEY CONTAIN?
- The cabins are different from each other. And the cabin type depends on the type of package you have chosen for yourself. But all the cabins are air-conditioned and spacious.
- If you are in an observation cabin, then there will be walls of spacious glass and a simple white table.
- The private cabin is a bit lavish from the observation cabin. It will have seats with walls providing you better opportunities to have a look at the hypnotic and stunning views. You will also get the opportunity to have your favorite beverages.
- In the exclusive cabin that is special for dining in, guests will enjoy two rotations of the wheel while having yummy dishes with catering services.
-IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LUXURY VIEWS! Once the doors are shut, it’s all about having a deep insight into breathtaking views. Starting from the uninterrupted views of Bluewaters Island and Address Beach Resort, the pods will gradually take you to the height where you will enjoy and admire the Dubai Coastline and Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). The glass doors will give you a clear 360-degree view of Dubai.
THE TOP- INCREDIBLE, BREATHTAKING, MESMERIZING, AND HYPNOTIC
The thrill will come when the pod will reach the top of the wheel. This best and unsurprising view will breathe. -VIEW OF DUBAI ON A BRIGHT DAY! On a bright and clear day, you will be able to have a clear view of the outline of Palm Jumeirah, right down the Atlantis. The palm will be on one end and you will be able to spot Burj Al Arab at a distance. Sprawling views of JBR, jet boats and luxury yachts like Dubai Marina, Lotus Mega Yacht and other small yachts moving through the water, and the Dubai coastline will add value to your experience. -NIGHT VIEW FROM AIN DUBAI! The view of JBR, The Palm Jumeirah, and the overall Dubai skyline will look so delicate and glittery at night, the blue waters will slightly change into an inky black. However, if you want to have a more stunning view, then it’s recommended to have a visit to this delicate attraction in Day so you can have a clear view of Dubai.
DISCLAIMER:
THOSE WITH A SEVERE FEAR OF HEIGHT ARE RECOMMENDED TO AVOID THE RIDE AS IT MIGHT BE A BIT NERVE-RACKING FOR THEM.
-GIFT SHOPS The 1st round will seem too short if you keep yourself busy taking pictures. So it will be better to use your phone less as the pictures will never explain the real beauty that you will see in real life with your eyes. Anyways, after hopping out of the cabin, a staircase will lead you towards a gift shop. You would love to have some shopping here. The items here are stocked with Ain Dubai-themed souvenirs like T-shirts (in the range of Dh75 and Dh100) and cups (Dh25 to Dh39).
