The world’s largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai, has reopened after being closed for “enhancement works” since March 2022. Ticket bookings are now available, starting at Dh145, through the attraction’s official website.
A Soft Launch and Full Operations
A customer care representative confirmed that the 250-metre-tall attraction had a soft launch on December 25 and is now fully operational. While Dubai Holding, the operator of Ain Dubai, has not released an official statement about the reopening, the holding message about the closure has been removed from the website.

A Record-Breaking Attraction
Located on Bluewaters Island near Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR), Ain Dubai stands at an impressive 250 metres, making it 82 metres taller than the High Roller in Las Vegas. The attraction boasts 48 cabins with a total capacity of 1,750 people.
A History of Delays
Ain Dubai initially opened to the public on October 21, 2021. However, it was closed for enhancement works in March 2022, with a reopening initially planned for Eid Al Fitr that year. Subsequent delays extended the closure through 2023, with reopening postponed “until further notice” in October 2022.
With its grand reopening, Ain Dubai is set to reclaim its place as one of Dubai’s top attractions, offering unparalleled views and a unique experience for visitors.
