Dubai formally inaugurated the world’s largest and highest ferris wheel on Thursday (October 21) as town seeks to strengthen its standing as a serious tourism hub.
The commentary wheel was formally opened to the general public with a lavish drone and firework present.
Positioned on the Bluewaters Island, the ‘Dubai Eye’ – referred to as ‘Ain Dubai’ in Arabic, stands at 250 metres tall.
It will probably take 1,750 guests on one rotation, which takes simply over half-hour.
It’s the newest attraction to open within the area’s tourism and enterprise hub, after the wax work museum Madame Tussauds opened earlier this week.
Dubai is hoping to draw thousands and thousands to the Expo 2020 world truthful, which opened earlier in October, after a year-long delay because of the coronavirus pandemic.
