The Ain Dubai, an iconic landmark in Dubai since its opening in October 2021, will remain closed until further notice. In its recent update, the observation wheel’s website announced that the Ferris wheel will remain inaccessible for now ‘until further notice’.

Standing at 250m high, the Ain Dubai observation wheel has been under major refurbishment and maintenance since last year. The latest statement said, “We continue to rigorously work on completing the enhancement works that have been taking place over the past months.”

The attraction was initially closed in March last year for “periodic enhancements”, and was scheduled to remain out of operation over Ramadan but reopen for the Eid Al Fitr holiday weekend. Those plans were then amended with the closure period extended until the first part of this year. Now, visitors waiting to experience the record-breaking attraction will have to wait a bit longer.
