From March 14 and during the entire Holy Month of Ramadan, Dubai will be closed to the public. The observation wheel is the largest and tallest in the world.
“Periodic enhancements” are the reason for the closure.
Ain Dubai has posted on its website that it expects its re-opening to be during the holiday weekend of Eid al Fitr.
“Over the coming weeks and as part of our commitment to continuously develop the unrivaled guest experience, we will work closely with our customer team and key partners to introduce new and exciting offerings bound to wow visitors,” reads the statement on the website.
The attraction opened to the public last year on October 21 on Bluewaters Island. With a height of 250 meters, it’s nearly twice the height of the London Eye.
From Ain Dubai’s observation towers, visitors could see Dubai from a 360-degree perspective – over the waters of the Arabian Gulf. The tower’s observation towers held 48 luxurious cabins, each accommodating 40 guests. It takes 38 minutes for the wheel to complete one complete rotation.
