Ain Dubai will remain closed for the summer. After the Dubai attraction was expected to re-open in the coming weeks for Eid,
Standing at 250m high, the Ain Dubai observation wheel has become an iconic landmark of the Dubai skyline since its opening in October 2021. With incredible views over JBR, the Dubai Marina and beyond, the enormous steel structure is now synonymous with Bluewaters Island.

Following it’s closure for refurbishment and maintenance on March 14, Ain Dubai’s reopening was expected to coincide with the Eid holidays in early May.
In a statement made on the official Ain Dubai website, it was announced that Ain Dubai would no longer be reopening in early May and the temporary closure will remain in place.
No official re-opening date has been set, and refurbishment works are set to continue throughout the summer months; “Ain Dubai’s temporary closure period, for enhancement works, will be extended through the summer months.“
This news is undoubtedly disappointing to visiting tourists and residents who have not yet been on a trip around the world’s largest observation wheel.
Although it is still not entirely clear what updates are in the works, the official website suggests that that the team are working hard to ensure that more exciting features are added to the Ain Dubai experience, that guests can look forward to upon reopening.
The statement concludes:“Over the coming weeks and as part of our commitment to continuously develop the unrivalled guest experience, we are working closely with our customer team and key partners to introduce new and exciting offerings bound to wow visitors. We look forward to welcoming Ain Dubai visitors back soon.”
As of now, the re-opening date for Ain Dubai is not clear. Stay with Time Out for more updates.
