What is Ain Dubai?<\/h2>\n

\"Ain<\/p>\n

Ain Dubai, which translates to Dubai Eye is Dubai’s version of the London Eye. Set to be the largest and highest in the world at a height of 210 m, Ain Dubai promises 360-degree views of the city and its coastline. To put its height to perspective, know that the Eiffel Tower<\/a> in Paris<\/a> stands is 300m tall and the London Eye<\/a> is 135m tall. On your Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel experience, expect sweeping panoramas of Dubai and its iconic landmarks like the Burj Al Arab, the Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Khalifa<\/a>. This view is said to exceptionally beautiful around sunset when the city is veiled in pink and ombre hues. Make sure to plan your visit around sunset to witness this magic.<\/p>\n

Not only is it’s height mind-boggling, but so is its weight. Ain Dubai, along with its hub, spindle and other parts is expected to weigh almost 9,000 tonnes total. To put this into perspective, know that the steel laced Eiffel Tower weights only 7,300 tonnes. So, Dubai Eye weighs 25% more than the Eiffel Tower! In order to move the sections of the wheel rim, the engineers have had to use cranes with a lifting capacity of 3000 tonnes.<\/p>\n
