Ain Dubai - World's Tallest Ferris Wheel, set to open soon

I've been documenting the construction of Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai since my first visit to Dubai in January 2014, before we moved here the end of the same year.

I've been regularly updating posts and in September 2020 on my last trip here they had started to put the pods/capsules on The World's Tallest Ferris Wheel .

It is expected to open in December 2020, a couple of months late due to the postponement of Expo 2020 due to Covid.

The pods are now on, since my last visit here 2 months ago. I'm undecided if I'll be going on it or not. I don't mind heights, but I don't like small spaces and the inability to leave when I choose.

Ain Dubai - World's tallest Ferris wheel.

Underneath the Dubai Eye - The World's tallest Ferris wheel which stands at 250 meters high. The London Eye is 135 meters.

The land where I'm standing was being built in the sea in January 2013 when I first visited Dubai. You can see the photo's of the Bluewater Island and the Dubai Eye or Ain Dubai to give it, it's correct name.

There were 4 pods on when I visited in August, my husband informed me last week more pods have been added. It'll be interesting to see how much it has changed and whether it's open when I go back in November. It was supposed to be opened in time for Expo 2020, however that has been postponed till next year.
