It takes 38 minutes for the wheel to complete one circle, during which you would get to enjoy the myriad sights and attractions of the city. In short, Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel is more than just an observation wheel.
The view of JBR, The Palm Jumeirah and the overall Dubai skyline seems to glitter at night, while the blue waters seen during the day turn into an inky black. However, if you're a shutterbug and can't decide between the daytime and night-time slots, we recommend going during the day.
The engineering
The project was developed by Meeras and was built at an estimated cost of AED 1 billion ($270m). An engineering marvel, the incredible masterpiece is said to be made from more than 9,000 tonnes of steel, which is 25% more than the amount used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The observation wheel's assembled hub and spindle weigh just like four A380 aircraft, with each glass-enclosed capsule rising up to 820 feet in the air, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Dubai skyline.
The wheel carries up to 1,750 passengers in 48 cabins and provides views of Dubai Marina and landmarks such as Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Khalifa. Ain Dubai has not been operational since March 2022 for "periodic enhancements". A preliminary opening date has been set for the first quarter of 2023.

Ain Dubai is 75 metres taller than the London Eye. London Eye: Once become the world's tallest observation wheel at 135 metres high with a diameter of 120 metres. London Eye offers 25 km panoramic views of the English capital.
3. Seeing the stars. The sky is supposed to be lit up with stars at night, but we kind of miss seeing them in Dubai's sky due to the sheer amount of brightly lit towers and highways. You need to go deep in the desert to be able to encounter starry skies.
Per Arabian Business, movie teasers or a message on the face of the Burj Khalifa start from a cool Dhs250,000 and that will only get you three minutes' air time.
Yes, they can. As long as the shorts aren't too short. If they are knee-length or a little above the knees, it's fine. Women should refrain from wearing shorts in parts of old Dubai.
Holding hands is fine as long as you don't go any further. I often see ex pat Westerners and Asians people doing this, even traditionally dressed Arab couples sometimes, although that isn't common. This applies in most places, but certainly not at a mosque or other traditional environment.
The country's longstanding Sunday to Thursday work week was officially dropped on Jan. 1.
If interested in planning a Dubai itinerary, then a stay of about 5 days is the best amount of time to squeeze all of the tourism juices out of this illustrious middle eastern gem. From luxury to style to architecture—it boasts of the tallest building in the whole world: the Burj Khalifa.
IS DUBAI FOR ONE DAY WORTH IT? Yes, a day in Dubai is enough to see the main sights. Of course, two or three days in Dubai would be better but you can see quite a lot in a day because some attractions are close by.
Dubai has strict laws regarding alcohol consumption, dress, sexual conduct, and social behaviors in general that are important for visitors to take note of.
Thanks to the rain, residents in Dubai were treated for a colourful spectacle this morning. Residents in Dubai were left feeling more like they were on another planet this morning. Rather than the usual sunny skies in shades of blue, orange or grey, they were treated with clouds of pink and red.
About 95 per cent of the fog in the UAE is radiation fog, which forms in the early hours as heat absorbed by the Earth's surface during the day radiates into the air, causing water droplets to form. It dissipates in the heat of the sun. Advection fog is another type seen in the UAE.
Re: Dubai - Why is the weather so misty/dusty at the moment? Dubai is in the Middle East and there is a lot of desert around these parts. There is also quite a bit of wind so the combination of wind and sand makes for rather dusty weather.
The much larger Ain Dubai compared to London Eye has 48 air-conditioned capsules. Each Ain Dubai capsule can comfortably hold 30 people at a time, bringing the approximate count of total Ain Dubai capacity to around 1,400 people. Once on the move, Ain Dubai would take almost 50 minutes to complete one full rotation.
About Ain Dubai
A one-of-a-kind experience, a ride on this observation wheel lasts around 48 minutes. LED screens in each capsule provide information to visitors on all the landmarks they can spot amidst the captivating 360 views! The attraction's name translates to Dubai Eye — a fitting moniker.
On the international front, the Southern Star is the world's third observation wheel but, continuing the mine's-bigger-than-yours theme, it's 15 metres shorter than the London Eye and positively dwarfed by the Singapore Flyer, at 165 metres.
During the months of May, June, September, and October, temperatures are hot, but rather quite bearable, with average highs of no more than 41 °C (106 °F) and with lows of about 27 °C (81 °F) on average, making it an ideal time to visit the beach or swimming pool.
In Dubai, it's fairly common that you're hardly finished with dusting and deep cleaning your home and there's already a new layer of dust sitting on the furniture and floors. The city's tropical climate invites sand storms quite often, especially in summers.
Despite being a desert country, the UAE has all the necessary ingredients for fog, seeing up to 50 foggy nights per year. Dry desert conditions exist next to the warm seas of the Gulf, with moist air carried inland by the afternoon sea breeze cooled by the night desert surface.
