This 250-meter rotating attraction drawing visitors to Dubai is now the tallest and largest observation wheel in the world. One full rotation on the Ain Dubai will take around 38 minutes. Make sure you visit the bathroom before boarding if you need to – there are none onboard!
So you've got your Ain Dubai tickets, but you're not sure where it is. Just head to Bluewaters Dubai, a development that opened in 2018. The island can be accessed easily from the mainland via a bridge from Sheikh Zayed Road.
You can also get there on foot. It's an easy 15-minute walk across the pedestrian bridge from Jumeirah Beach Residence, and the views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah and JBR aren't bad either.
Depending on your Ain Dubai tickets, there are different pods you might ride in. There are currently three kinds open to the public: private cabins, observation cabins and social cabins. If you're riding with your family, the observation cabins offer excellent chances to point out all the highlights of Dubai’s glittering skyline.
Ain Dubai's social cabins come with three drinks to enjoy as you "fly". If you're feeling fancy, you can upgrade these to include your very own bar. Tickets for the social cabins also include access to Ain Dubai’s Seaview Lounge, which is another great place to get those top skyline snaps.
If you're celebrating a special occasion, the Ain Dubai private cabins will make it an event to remember.
The best time to use your Ain Dubai tickets is early in the morning, or at sunset. The lighting over Dubai at these times will make for some pretty spectacular photos. Who doesn't look good, bathed in a soft orange glow?
Located at the heart of Bluewaters – the sophisticated island destination – Ain Dubai is the world's tallest observation wheel, standing at a whopping 250 meters.
Made up of 48 passenger cabins, the wheel can carry more than 1,750 visitors at once, and offers up unbeatable 360º views of Dubai's stunning architecture. You can take your pick between day, night, and sunset spins, but whatever time you choose, you're in for an incredible ride.
The location also serves as an entertainment venue if you're looking for somewhere special to celebrate.
Setting a record for building the biggest observation wheel in the world is no small feat. Ain Dubai's Ron Drake gives us the inside scoop!
