December 2024: Everything You Need to Know as Ain Dubai Reopens

After two years and nine months of closure, Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel, is spinning again. Standing majestically at 250 metres, this Guinness World Record-holding landmark in Dubai quietly resumed operations, with tickets becoming available on Wednesday, December 25. The wheel is turning again, and all public spaces surrounding the Bluewaters attraction have been reopened to visitors.

Situated on Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai overlooks JBR and Dubai Marina, offering panoramic views that have been sorely missed. The over two-year pause, initiated for maintenance, had kept the landmark shrouded in mystery, but now, fresh details and ticketing information are finally here.

• Tuesday to Friday: Open from 12 PM to 9 PM
• Saturday and Sunday: Open from 11 AM to 9 PM
