The Eye of Dubai is a truly impressive building that has become one of the main attractions of the city. From a height of 250 meters, there is a breathtaking view of Dubai and its surroundings. The panoramic views of the skyscrapers, the Persian Gulf and the famous fountain are especially impressive.
The building itself is designed in a modern style, and in itself is a work of architectural art. Inside, there are convenient waiting areas and information screens that help you better understand what can be seen from a height.
Climbing to the observation deck is a special pleasure. The elevators work quickly, and in a few minutes you will be at the top. I recommend visiting the Eye of Dubai in the evening, when the city begins to glow with lights. This creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
It is also worth noting that the site has the opportunity to take photos with the help of professional photographers, which adds a nice touch to the visit. In general, the Eye of Dubai is a must—stop for anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of the city and get an unforgettable experience.
A pleasant place, the biggest Ferris wheel in my life. The views from it are gorgeous! The whole of Dubai is in full view. Cons: high entrance fees and intrusive photography on the ground floor at the entrance to the complex building. At the exit, they then offered people something, either magnets with their photos, or something else. Paid or not, I do not know, because we refused to be photographed. The booths themselves are huge, like a whole room with a seat in the middle. The full circle lasted about 40 minutes. The ticket office is located nearby.
We were at the world's tallest observation deck, Ain Dubai, in February — an excellent choice of time, there were almost no tourists, and we ended up in a booth with only six of us.(if you buy a booth for 6 people separately, it costs 1,260 dirhams. Very spacious and comfortable! It takes more than 40 minutes to complete a full lap, and overall it's a calm, smooth ride. But when the cabin stopped at the highest point for about 30 seconds, it was really scary. But the views are amazing: the city, the sea, the panoramas — everything is in the palm of your hand. It is interesting to observe the life of a megalopolis from such a height. Towards the end, however, you get a little tired — after all, almost three quarters of an hour without movement. But the impressions are strong, definitely worth a visit!
The whole family is thrilled. We were at 12 p.m., and it's much more interesting to watch in the morning: you can see the sea, the city, ships, and planes. It's creepy at the top. The cabin does not shake, very smooth running. The lap is 38 minutes, but it doesn't seem that long. There were few people: the entire cubicle, the size of a 1-room apartment, was at our disposal. The views are beautiful, you can see the palm tree, Burj al Arab. It's expensive, but definitely worth it: for 2 adults and an 8-year-old son, they gave about 10tr with our money (about 400 dirhams).
There are a lot of people in the evening: the cabins resemble sprats or a minibus
You can cross the pedestrian bridge if you live nearby, take the escalator down, along the cafes and shops, and turn left. You can buy tickets at the Warth shopping center. There are signs everywhere.
An unforgettable experience!!! I'm like a kid seeing a wheel for the first time. The scale is certainly impressive. High, comfortable, and mesmerizing. We went from buying a ticket to boarding the cabin without any problems . The views, of course, are breathtaking. The palm tree is in full view , the sail is in the distance, and the Burj Khalifa is also visible . Well , the bay . We were lucky enough to get into a VIP booth with a bar. So my recommendations are, be sure to visit there.,
The largest Ferris wheel in the world. The height is 250 meters.
At the entrance, the security check is like on an airplane. It's been a long wait. The booths are huge and closed. You feel calm and safe in them. My wife is usually afraid of heights, but she felt safe here.
We were in the dark. I took off the star for the glare on the photo. You won't get good photos from the cockpit in the evening. The seat and cabin lights are very bright. As for me, it would be better if there were no lighting in the cabin or it would be possible to turn it off.
If you just enjoy the views, then it's okay. The views are really fascinating. Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Bluewaters are perfectly visible. But you can't take good photos. Perhaps this is not the case during the day.
Great views from the Ferris wheel! I recommend coming in the morning, as there are few people, we were in a booth together, the three of us, and everyone else was about the same for our time) The ticket is bought directly at the shopping center next to the wheel, for two 290 dirhams, but it's definitely worth it! The smoothness of the ride is fantastic, there is no point or jerk, and the full turn took about 35 minutes. In general, be sure to visit! By the way, the time of work is much earlier than indicated on the maps, we personally have already started at 11
I didn't expect that both children and adults would like it so much. The views are magical, even though we weren't at sunset. The cabins of the funicular are large and comfortable with an ideal temperature: neither cold nor hot. They look futuristic. From the unusual: while walking from the ticket office to the boarding place, the ticket is checked literally every 20 meters! Why!? At the exit, they very obsessively offer to buy a photo. Overall, it's worth a visit.
My son and I really enjoyed it! My son loves all the best things. The Eye of Dubai is the largest and tallest Ferris wheel in the world.
There is an opportunity to buy a ticket at a vending machine, pay with a card, with your back to the entrance, on the right, a white futuristic building with vending machines.
The tallest wheel in the world is 250m, with a pretty good view of Dubai's surroundings. You get into the capsules - and they are different - there are vip, there are regular ones, there are with a soft floor for children ...
You can see the industrial zone, the canal, the pedestrian bridge, the Dubai Marina embankment, the Persian Gulf, respectively, a Palm tree and other attractions.
It's very beautiful and cool...I visit some sightseeing tours in every city and country..but this is the first time I've seen this...We sat down in a booth with drinks...I got a very talkative bartender...only pleasant impressions....
We were on the Ferris wheel with my husband. Tickets were bought through the website, it is probably more convenient to buy at the box office because you can buy without stupid food and drinks, there is no such possibility on the website and tickets are a little more expensive, apparently because of this. Overall, good impressions, large spacious cabins for 40 people, there were 6 of us... my husband and I and 4 other tourists)) We didn't bother each other at all, there was a lot of room. The wheel turns for 40 minutes. If the hike is good and there is no haze, then the views are very cool. When we were riding, there was a haze and the skyscrapers were not visible (( but a good time, as it seemed to us in February at 18:30, when you enter it's still light and you leave the cabin it's already dark. It turned out to admire both the illuminated evening and night city. It definitely makes sense to visit once, I probably won't go a second time))
The most technologically advanced Ferris wheel we've ever been to.
My son is afraid of heights, and every new wheel is stressful for him, but here he didn't feel even a slight strain. Inside the cabin it is comfortable and calm - everything looks monumental and reliable.
I haven't been to Burj Khalifa, but it seems like it's much cooler on this wheel!
We'll check it out next time))
It's very beautiful at sunset!
A lot of people come to admire the views on purpose. You can just walk along the shore, cross the bridge closer to the Ferris wheel, you can sit by the water -
in general, it's very beautiful!
An impressive structure. Climb to a height of 250 meters. Very smooth running of spacious cabins. A full circle takes about 40 minutes. The cost varies depending on the time. We rode before sunset to see Dubai during the day during the ascent and at night during the descent. For myself and a child of 6 years old, we got $ 100 and gave 5 dirhams in change. I advise you to visit. Emotions are guaranteed
I really liked it. Everything is organized there at a high level.
The view from the height is very beautiful on palm island.
You can't bring drinks with you on the wheel, but you can buy and drink chips and popcorn in the building.
7-8 people are allowed into the booth..
The view of Dubai in the evening is magnificent from the highest point of the huge and weightless wheel of Ain Dubai. The smoothness of the ride, the freedom of inspection, and the perfectly matched musical accompaniment are impressive.
A great place for an evening walk. Unfortunately, the Ferris wheel does not work, but the walking area is all beautifully lit, all sorts of goodies are on sale and there are plenty of restaurants.
I've always dreamed of visiting the Ferris wheel. I flew to Dubai twice, but the wheel didn't work. I was lucky this time. Russian-speaking guys work at the checkout. The ticket price is slightly more than 4,000 rubles. The controllers are very polite. The cabins are equipped with air conditioners and landing crosses. The view behind the streamlined double-glazed windows wow! It's not scary to drive at all. The wheel is moving slowly. The time was about 35-40 minutes. There is a gift shop at the exit. There are many cafes on the coastal territory. If you are in Dubai, be sure to visit the Ferris wheel!
On December 26, the wheel was finally opened. There are very few people. We bought a ticket on the spot. The ticket office opposite the wheel, in the shopping center where it is located, can be clarified with the staff who are standing at the entrance to the attraction.
We were riding in the 21st in the afternoon, it was interesting, a palm tree was visible and inflatable trampolines near the shore turned out to be folded into the word “EXPO 2020”
Now we were climbing in the evening, it was very magical! But the best time, I think, is sunset time.
38 minutes fly by unnoticed. The capsule is large, there is a lot of space. There's a bench in the middle.
The movement of the wheel is not felt at all, everything is very comfortable.
After a long downtime, it was re-launched in the last days of December 2024. I was lucky enough to take a ride. The views of Palm and Jumeirah beach are fantastic. There are simple booths, but there are with a bar. There aren't many people during the day, and you'll have to wait in line in the afternoon.
Photos, like everywhere else, are taken in front of a white wall, then superimposed on a different background. You don't have to buy it back.
It's very beautiful around here in the evening. From the side of the ticket offices, you can see the drone show perfectly and there are speakers.
The Ferris wheel itself moves very slowly and is very expensive. You can buy a ticket on the website in advance.
In the evening, a show for children on stage.
Cafes and restaurants are full of visitors. It's probably better to book a table in advance.
It's really very cool stuff, super impressions were received. The booths are large, spherical, convenient to look at. Nothing creaks or dangles, so it's not a big deal, even though the height is high. The price tag is not cheap, 150-200 dirhams per person, but it costs 100% to go. The wheel makes a circle in 38 minutes.
We didn't even know that this wheel might not work. It turns out that it was opened only 1.5 months ago. Polite staff, a huge booth with only 7 people in it. We took a fast-pass fare, which also includes drinks and sandwiches. The views are unreal, as long as there are no clouds. In the evening, we also recommend taking a walk next to the wheel in the Bluewaters Island area. There are gorgeous views of the Eye of Dubai😎
We arrived at the 17-30 session , sunset time , the ticket price is 195 dirhams , in the simplest booth . The experience is wonderful! We do not regret the money and time spent ! Amazing views! There are not many people in the booth, there is a place to sit, everyone has access to the view!
A trip on this wheel was planned, we specially arrived in time to have time to see Dubai from a height both when it is light, and at night, those at sunset. The wheel circle, if anything, is about 40 minutes.The cost of an economy ticket is indicated everywhere as 145 dirhams, however, at the cash desk, when buying for cash, the seller explained that the ticket price before sunset (18:30) is more expensive and amounts to 195 dirhams. No matter how big the difference is, but when you pay for a band, it's certainly noticeable. As a result, I bought more expensive tickets and went to the wheel, the passage time was 17:50. Just before boarding, everyone was stopped, the doors were closed - for some reason, the wheel was stopped. As a result, everyone stood in line for about 35 minutes, everyone was indignant, but it was not explained what was happening. As a result, it began to get dark, and they started launching us at 18:21, and it turns out that the top time for which we overpaid has already passed. Well, there's nothing to do, let's go to the wheel, but it was decided that after the rides we would go complain and demand a refund of at least that overpayment of 50 dirhams (only 300..!). After coming to the cashier after a night ride, contacting the seller, we called the manager, who tried to explain to us for 20 minutes that everything is fine, nothing happened. And they refused to reimburse us for the difference. As a result, the long-awaited planned trip on the highest wheel in the world resulted in such an unpleasant situation. And, well, he would have apologized, admitted his guilt, but even this was not done! It is very sad to see that in Dubai, the world capital of everything advanced, by Russian standards, there are so many people who take money for this attraction, such an attitude in such an unpleasant incident. I hope that our compatriots will not get into such an unpleasant situation..
It is a very beautiful place, which is only worth the Ferris wheel, from which you can see almost the entire city and Palm Jumeirah. But the main thing is to put the phone away, because there are a lot of lasers here, of course it's beautiful, but it was very painful to fly into 20k for repairing the camera on the s24 ultra.
The coolest place! A very cozy atmosphere has been created on the island itself, and a 38-minute journey on a wheel will not leave anyone indifferent. Thanks to the staff for the opportunity to ride in the capsule with just your family.
Fine. It's definitely worth coming and taking a look. The excellent staff welcomes you with a smile. The view of Dubai from above is off the charts in beauty. Be sure to bring your camera and binoculars.
An expensive but wonderful place!
Views, exciting music, lots of cool keepsake photos.
We were lucky to ride in a booth together)
In general, it is definitely worth a visit!
Tickets were bought on the spot at the terminal. 175 dirhams (together with some taxes). There is a storage room for lighters and electronic cigarettes (they are not allowed in). There is a small museum inside. A round on the wheel takes 35 minutes. The view is beautiful. No shaking, even in windy conditions, and we were riding in such weather. In my opinion, it's better to ride in the evening when it gets dark and the lights come on. You can walk to the embankment across the bridge between it and the island.
Gorgeous!!! A lot of impressions! The tallest Ferris wheel in the world! Huge booths, full view, you can view and photograph everything in 35 minutes! I definitely recommend it!
Sooo big wheel! The views are fascinating! Definitely worth a visit! Near the wheel there are a large number of catering establishments for every taste and budget.
I've always dreamed of coming here! And how glad I am that it opened and the first thing after our arrival we went for a ride on it . Incredibly beautiful views open from the wheel , which completes a revolution in about 38 minutes . I recommend you to visit! I was in January, there were no queues, we were alone in the booth.
It's an amazing place!We managed to visit before closing time and were looking forward to when the wheel would start working again. Beautiful panoramas open up-a delight!The booths are clean, spacious, and there is a place to sit-a full turn is more than 40 minutes.
Unreal impressions! It was February 4th. We immediately took a ticket with a quick pass and included drinks and snacks to enjoy the full experience!
Tickets can be purchased online or at the vending machine at the wheel (we specially checked - everything was available on the same day).
Excellent service, everything is clean and beautiful inside.
The view is spectacular, 250 meters. We climbed for 38 minutes.
At the exit, we also bought photos with our portrait on the background of the wheel (but it's better not to buy 😄, it's unreasonably expensive).
It really is the tallest in the world! It's a pleasure to ride it and enjoy the magnificent views. I recommend the evening time, when everything glows in the lights)

The Eye of Dubai (Ain Dubai) is a majestic Ferris wheel located on the artificial Bluewaters Island in Dubai. Since its opening in 2021, it has become not only one of the main attractions of the city, but also a symbol of modern Dubai. Here is my detailed review of my impressions of visiting this unique attraction.
Architecture and design
The Eye of Dubai impresses with its scale and design. The wheel is 250 meters high, making it the tallest in the world. The structure is made using modern technologies and materials, which gives it an elegant and futuristic look. At night, the wheel is illuminated by bright lights, creating a mesmerizing sight that is visible from afar.
Climbing to a height
When I entered the attraction, I felt a slight excitement, but it quickly passed when I found myself in a comfortable booth with panoramic windows. The ascent starts smoothly, and as I ascended, I had a breathtaking view of Dubai, its skyscrapers and the coast. The journey time takes about 38 minutes, which allows you to enjoy the views throughout the ascent and descent.
Panoramas of Dubai
At the height, I was amazed by the beauty of the city. On one side there was a view of the famous Burj Khalifa, on the other - the stunning Jumeirah beach and the clear waters of the Persian Gulf. I could also see artificial islands like Palm Jumeirah. Every corner of the city looked unique and fascinating in its own way.
Conveniences
The Eye of Dubai cabins can accommodate up to 10 people and are equipped with air conditioning, which makes the trip comfortable even in hot weather. Special options are available in some cabins, such as the option to order champagne or snacks, which adds an element of luxury to the experience.
Atmosphere and impressions
The overall atmosphere around the Eye of Dubai is very pleasant. Bluewaters Island is home to restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, allowing you to spend a full day in the area. I also noticed that many families and couples choose this place for romantic walks and photo shoots against the backdrop of the wheel.
Conclusion
The Eye of Dubai is not just an attraction, it is a unique experience that allows you to see Dubai from a completely new perspective. This is an ideal place for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the city, take unforgettable photos and spend time with their loved ones. I was absolutely delighted with my visit and I am happy to recommend the Eye of Dubai to anyone who is planning a trip to Dubai!
On January 3, 2025, the wheel is working. From 9 to 21 every day. From 16 to 19, the price is more expensive than at other times. Children under 12 years old get a discount. Because the wheel turns in 40 minutes. The entrance to the attraction is at the beginning of each hour. Not as soon as we arrived. There is a priority passageway. Just like everywhere else in Dubai. VIP booth with a bar counter. The views are great. It is definitely necessary to visit if you are in Dubai.
The view of the wheel is beautiful.
This is not the first time we have come.
And every time.
We can't get in.
It doesn't work....
Take a walk, watch the lights of the city light up at sunset.
Gorgeous.
We rode this beautiful wheel in the sixth on 01/25/2025, everyone was satisfied! There were almost no queues (we waited 2-3 minutes), the cabin they let us into turned out to be spacious, there was only our company in it, although before that small groups of people, 2-3 people each, were put together. The view exceeded all expectations, in general, I liked everything.
Impressive. The passage is fast, the booth is huge, everything is organized. The views are spectacular. For those who are afraid of heights, the word is not scary at all, even at its peak. It's especially beautiful at sunset.
