World’s largest observation wheel set to open in 2020

There’s one thing you can look forward to in 2020 as there will be a new attraction in Dubai.

Dubai-based holding company Meraas will bring the world’s tallest observation wheel next year and it will be completed in time for the Expo 2020 Dubai celebrations.

This will stand at over 250 meters high and the structure will be over 200 percent taller than the first-ever Ferris wheel.

Last April, Meraas said the eighth and final 450-tonne temporary spoke has been successfully removed from the structure and the last of the permanent spoke cables has been installed.

This process marks the first time the modern observation structure has been one complete wheel since construction began.

Ain Dubai is situated at Bluewaters, the island destination by Meraas that has recently opened its doors to visitors.
