The bookings for the world’s tallest and largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai, starts today.
The wheel will open on October 21, but the ticket bookings are starting earlier and have been priced at AED 130.
The wheel, which towers at 250 metres, is located on Bluewaters Island and each leg of the wheel is 126m high, tall enough to fit 15 London buses.
The weight of the assembled hub and spindle is equivalent to four A380 aircraft and each glass-enclosed capsule rises up to 820 feet in the air and offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Dubai skyline.
The wheel will eclipse the 167-metre High Roller in Las Vegas and the 190-metre New York Wheel planned for Staten Island, New York City.
As per the Visit Dubai website, the wheel which is situated across the water from the popular Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) beachfront, offers unrivalled 360-degree views of the urban skyline in a 38-minute journey.
Inside its 48 air-conditioned passenger cabins, 1,750 visitors can take in the breathtaking experience in one revolution.
