If you’ve ever been to Dubai, you’d understand that this city doesn’t take anything lightly, everything is done to its full potential, and Ain Dubai is no exception. The first time I saw the massive observation wheel on Bluewaters Island, I was taken aback by its size. For me, it has become a wonder; at the same time remains a testimony to Dubai’s willingness and capacity to turn the impossible into possible dreams. Now I am glad to tell you that, after being closed for two years of renovation, Ain Dubai is all set to accommodate those willing visitors again, and believe me, it’s nothing less than a delightful experience.
When I entered the cabin during my last visit, I was literally lost for words at the sight that greeted me. From the high-rise structures of Dubai Marina to the vast blue of the Arabian Gulf, it’s like the city bows before you. If you are planning a trip to the city for the first time or you are among the Dubai enthusiasts willing to discover new attractions, the reopening of Ain Dubai is the perfect opportunity to plan a visit to this amazing attraction. And these new updates it brought, it’s more massive and enhanced than it has ever been before.
What is Ain Dubai?
Ain Dubai also known as the “Dubai Eye” looks like a conventional Ferris wheel but it is actually the world’s tallest observation wheel that measures 250 meters across. Let’s just ponder on that for a while – it’s as high as a 78-storey building! Situated in the strategic area of Bluewaters Island, this fabulous piece of architecture has turned out to be a prime jewel and is currently one of the most popular discussed sites in the region.
However, it is not just the height that makes Ain Dubai different from other Ferris wheels. In fact, it is a full-circle tour of the changing narrative of Dubai. All of its 48 high-tech cabins are expected to serve all types of guests specifically chosen to suit that clientele. There are sightseeing cabins to take a scenic ride, party cabins for special occasions, and even eatery cabins for exquisite cuisine all while being aboard a cabin.
What makes Ain Dubai even more magical is its ability to present the city. You will be able to recognize key points of interest such as Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, or Burj Al Arab from a perspective that is impossible to see from any other vantage point. It is an incredible and exciting journey that helps you realize the size and splendor of this captivating city. Whether you have a special night out or just want to have a uniquely amazing time, Ain Dubai is the place to go.
Why Did Ain Dubai Close?
Finally, Ain Dubai was launched in October 2021 but had to close its operations a few months later in early 2022. In their statement, the authorities claimed that the park was closed down for the purpose of performing administrative, safety measures, and improvement works to provide visitors with safety, comfort, and convenience.
As for the technical aspect, the management has been quite busy the past two years to make necessary improvements, and with the new reopening, it seems to offer a spectacular experience.
