Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel – Admission Price, Tickets, Ride Duration, Opening Hours, Waiting Time, and Other Tips

Welcome to the highest Ferris wheel in the world – at a height of 250 meters. Finally, the time has come, the highest Ferris wheel in the world has opened its doors and you can become one of the first visitors. The construction of the Ferris wheel began in 2015 and was supposed to be completed by the start of Expo 2020 in Dubai. Due to the global Covid pandemic, everything was delayed, and on October 21, 2021, the time had come. Just in time for the start of the postponed Expo 2020 in Dubai, the world's largest Ferris wheel was made accessible to visitors.

Attention: Unfortunately, the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel is currently temporarily closed. It was originally planned for the Ain Dubai to be accessible again in early May 2022, but repair and improvement work was extended over the summer and winter months of 2022/2023. It was planned to reopen the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel in the first quarter of 2023, but this unfortunately did not happen. An exact new date for the reopening is currently not yet set. Alternatively, we recommend a visit to the The View at the Palm observation platform, which was recently opened. From there, you also have a sensational 360-degree view of the Palm Island and over Dubai. In addition, a visit to the Burj Khalifa for the view over Dubai is always recommended.

How do I get to the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel?

The Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel is located on the newly created “Bluewater Island”, next to the Dubai Marina. Unfortunately, there is no direct metro connection as this would then be located in the middle of the Persian Gulf. The nearest metro station is the “DMCC Metro Station” at the Dubai Marina. From there, you will still have to take a taxi for a short distance. Alternatively, you can also take a short walk through the Dubai Marina to get to the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel. Another option is to take the ferry to Bluewater Island. For this, you disembark at the “Bluewaters Marine Transport Station”. Moreover, you can also take the tram to the “Jumeirah Beach Residence 2” stop and walk the last few meters from there.

Where can I buy tickets for the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel?

Tickets for a ride on the new Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel can be purchased directly on-site or online. All tickets are sold with a fixed entry time for the ride. The rides always start on the hour. Please note that normal tickets without additional services, as well as tickets for rides at sunset and during Prime Time, are often already sold out on-site. For this reason, we recommend buying the tickets online in advance. With the online tickets, you always have an overview of the current availability of individual tickets, making it easy to plan your ride on the Dubai Ferris Wheel.

Tip: If you have already bought a ticket (on-site or online), please be at the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel about half an hour before your booked ride.

How long are the wait times at the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel?

Even though Ain Dubai has a maximum capacity of 1700 people, there can be very long wait times during peak times (e.g., on weekends or holidays). This is due to the high demand and the long ride time – a single ride on the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel takes a full 38 minutes. Then there's the additional time for passengers to board and disembark. Even at the ticket counters, there can be long queues and waiting times due to the limited number of possible ride tickets and fixed hourly ride times. We recommend that you arrive at the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel at least 30 minutes before your booked ride.

What to expect on and at the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel

First and foremost, a breathtaking view of Dubai and its surroundings. With the 48 externally mounted cabins, you have an unrestricted 360-degree view of the city, the sea, and the landscape. From the cabins, you can observe the hustle and bustle in Dubai Marina, have a fantastic view of the world-famous Palm Island. During sunset over Dubai, you have an unrestricted view of the play of colors over and in Dubai from the Ferris Wheel.

Is it worth visiting the Ferris Wheel in Dubai?

Definitely, yes! If you're in Dubai, you shouldn't miss a visit to the currently highest Ferris wheel in the world. You'll get a fantastic 360-degree view of Dubai, the sea, the marina, and the world-famous Palm Island in Dubai. Rides during sunset times are particularly recommended.
