World’s tallest observation wheel opens in Dubai

World’s tallest observation wheel opens in Dubai
October 25, 2021

Ain Dubai, the world's largest and tallest observation wheel by Dubai Holding recently opened (21st October) and was celebrated by thousands who joined the extravaganza at the Ain Dubai Plaza that bustled with family activities, live DJ sets and a spectacular inaugural light, drone and fireworks show.

The inaugural rotation of the Ain Dubai 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 sun set, the captivating wheel lit up the sky with an impressive light, drone and fireworks show.

Ain Dubai General Manager, Ronald Drake (pictured above with guests) notes "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".
