History
Ain Dubai was previously named the Dubai Eye or Dubai-I.[1][2] It was announced in February 2013.[3]
Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Starneth Engineering were appointed as the primary design and construction contractors,[3][4] together with KCI, the engineers who designed and engineered the complete wheel structure including the installation engineering. Construction began in May 2015,[5] anticipating completion in early to mid-2019. Further delays pushed the target opening to 20 October 2020, in order to coincide with Expo 2020,[6] but this itself was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The wheel opened a year later on 21 October 2021.[7]
Ain Dubai is Шаблон:Convert taller than the previous world's tallest observation wheel, the Шаблон:Convert High Roller, which opened in Las Vegas in March 2014.[8]
The wheel is designed to carry up to 1,750 passengers[9] in 48 cabins and to provide views of Dubai Marina and landmarks such as Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Khalifa.[10]
Ain Dubai has not been operational since March 2022 for "periodic enhancements".[11] In April 2023, the operators announced that the Ain Dubai would remain "closed indefinitely", without any further explanation. The axle of the wheel was at that time surrounded by scaffolding, and the German TÜV Association, which was involved in the Ain's construction, withdrew its safety certification for the structure. However, Шаблон:As of the LED displays on the structure continue to be illuminated at night and are visible from miles away.[12]
