Ain Dubai
Ain Dubai, formerly known as the Dubai Eye or Dubai-I, was a towering Ferris wheel located on Bluewaters Island in Dubai, UAE, standing at a remarkable height of 250 meters (820 feet). It claimed the title of the world's tallest observation wheel upon its opening in October 2021. Originally announced in February 2013, Ain Dubai experienced construction delays, finally opening to the public in October 2021, a year later than initially anticipated. Designed to accommodate up to 1,750 passengers across 48 cabins, Ain Dubai offered breathtaking views of Dubai's iconic landmarks, including the Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Khalifa. However, the wheel has been non-operational since March 2022 for 'periodic enhancements,' and in April 2023, operators announced its indefinite closure, with the structure's axle surrounded by scaffolding. Despite its closure, the LED displays on Ain Dubai remain illuminated at night, visible from miles away, though the structure's safety certification was withdrawn by the German TÜV Association.
