Ain Dubai opens

World’s Largest and Tallest Observation Wheel Opened

After much anticipation, Ain Dubai, the world’s largest and tallest observation wheel by Dubai Holding, officially welcomed its first visitors.

The inaugural rotation took place for eager guests who had pre-booked to experience a 38-minute rotation in the state-of-the-art cabins.

The first rotation also included the lucky winners of the Ain Dubai treasure hunt around Bluewaters competition held earlier this month. After the sunset, the captivating wheel lit up the sky with a mesmerising light, drone and fireworks show as the world watched the momentous occasion.

Ronald Drake, General Manager, Ain Dubai said: “It was a proud moment for us to host such a celebration to officially welcome the world, allowing so many visitors the chance to experience much of what Ain Dubai has to offer. We were thrilled by the response from our guests who loved the unrivalled and unforgettable social and celebratory experiences as well as the range of entertainment, all set against the stunning view of Dubai’s dazzling skyline. This is just the beginning – we invite everyone to join us for more entertainment at the Ain Dubai Plaza today, as well as book a spot to experience stunning 360-degree views of Dubai in premium comfort”.

From dining in the sky and exclusive celebration packages to bespoke corporate and event offerings, Ain Dubai brings over 19 truly unique and customisable experiences, all against the backdrop of Dubai’s dazzling skyline. Open both day and night, Ain Dubai visitors will be able to experience two very different sides of Dubai, from the stunning Bluewaters views to a host of night-time entertainment. Visitors can gaze at the sunset’s golden rays glittering across the skyscrapers or watch Dubai’s spectacular LED lights switch on as it gets darker.

Offering unique views of Dubai’s iconic landmarks from indoor, air-conditioned cabins and a huge range of entertainment to keep visitors coming back for more, the experiences are split into three main categories: Observation Cabins, Social Cabins and Private Cabins, with experiences starting with one rotation of approximately 38 minutes, up to two rotations of approximately 76 minutes.  

The Observation Cabins provide the perfect platform for those never-seen-before Instagrammable 360-degree views of Dubai, as guests climb steadily through the sky on the world’s tallest observation wheel to create a magical photobook memory of one of the world’s most iconic cities and all its incredible landmarks.
