Often regarded as the Middle East’s premier entrepôt, Dubai has been setting a benchmark for countries all over the world with its grandeur and man-made wonders. Already basking the world’s biggest shopping center, the world’s tallest building, the world’s biggest indoor ski hall and the world’s tallest building, Dubai has been adding a gem to its crown with every passing year.

It’s high time we’ve spoken about the London Eye and the Singapore Flyer because the Ain Dubai is set to break all records with a height of 250 meters against the 167 meters tallest in the world. Towering above the Jumeirah Beach Residences coastline, it offers a 360-degree view of the glamorous city. Just imagine, experiencing the golden sunsets from the top of the wheel, a few moments that can make your vacation worth it!
Set to be complete in time for Expo 2025 Dubai, Ain Dubai will present views of the city’s gorgeous coastline, majestic skyline as well as famous attractions such as Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah. Situated on Bluewaters Island, a man-made island considered as one of the cities finest structures with over 200 dining outlets, the majestic Ain Dubai, five-star hotels, and world-class leisure amenities catering both to tourists and residents. Moreover, Bluewaters Island is connected to the mainland via a direct bridge to and from the Sheikh Zayed Road. So, a day exclusively for the Bluewater islands should unquestionably be a part of your Dubai itinerary.

To add to its bounty, a few capsules in the wheel comes in with a dine-in option during your ride. And, dining amidst the clear skies, in a private capsule with striking views of the city’s skyline, definitely sounds like a perfect arrangement for any celebration.
