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.
