Dubai has set its “seatbelt” to take you to another level of surprise. Yes! Get ready to say something again like “WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!”But no, because Dubai doesn’t even know about the word IMPOSSIBLE. Yes, after appearing on the top of the tree with the largest landmarks, most mesmerizing views, the highest skyscrapers, containing the most beautiful coastline, and so on, Dubai is going to hypnotize you all with the astonishing and gripping view of the sun from the height of 250m in the sky. No, you don’t need to wait for this or don’t even think that it’s just a rumor. As you know, Dubai has never disappointed you. So this news about a unique experience of Dubai from such an incredible height is going to be happening in a few days. Yes again, you heard it right!
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.
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.
The attraction will be open daily from noon (the exact time has not been decided yet) to 10 PM.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-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!
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.
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?
-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.
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).
Catch the sunrise and sunset from a different perspective, gaze at the astonishing views of amazing and stunning landmarks like Burj Al Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Al Arab, sleek sights of Dubai Marina, spend a night with a thrill of the height, or take your events up in the sky with so many things to do at this auspicious wheel.
