Ain Dubai (Arabic: عين دبي; lit. 'eye of Dubai') is a giant Ferris wheel located at Bluewaters Island in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the world's tallest giant observation wheel, at a height of 250 m (820 ft), since October 2021.
Ain Dubai is 82.4 m (270 ft) taller than the previous world's tallest observation wheel, the 167.6 m (550 ft) High Roller, which opened in Las Vegas in March 2014.[1]
The wheel is designed to carry up to 1,750 passengers[2] in 48 cabins and to provide views of Dubai Marina and landmarks such as Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Khalifa.[3]
