Visiting Ain Dubai Observation Wheel

The Ain Dubai is the latest stunning addition to the city, which can be easily added to the must-visit attractions in the UAE. Like other iconic Dubai monuments that can only be described in superlatives, this magnificent structure sets the record for being the world’s largest observation wheel built at a height of 250 meters — making it taller than the London Eye and High Roller in Las Vegas. This eye-catching wonder is situated on Bluewaters Island — a man-made Island built 500 meters off Jumeirah Beach coastline, near Dubai Marina. Here's everything you need to know before you visit Ain Dubai.

What's The Best time to Visit Ain Dubai?

Ain Dubai, which translates to Dubai Eye, is the newest attraction in the city. A version of the London Eye, the Ain Dubai is the world’s largest Ferris Wheel, elevating to a height of 210 meters. A ride on the Ain Dubai observation wheel will allow you to admire Dubai's coastline and spot iconic landmarks like the Burj Al Arab, the Palm Jumeirah, and the Burj Khalifa.

The best time to go on the Ain Dubai observation wheel would be between October to March so you can escape the harsh climate of the city. Visit on a weekday around sunset hours as it would allow you to view the city skyline against the pink and orange hues. However, between 5 PM to 7 PM also marks the Ain Dubai peak hours, so it could be crowded, which could lead to a longer wait time. To avoid crowds, you can visit Ain Dubai during the early morning or the evening when it is cooler.
