Dubai Eye 'Ain Dubai' To Open This Year

The world's tallest observation wheel in Dubai, Ain Dubai, is to open in the final quarter of this year, meaning September onwards.

The wheel is made out of 192 cable wires, totaling 2,400km, the same distance between Dubai and Cairo. The weight of its rim is equal to 16 Airbus A380 superjumbos.

About 9,000 tonnes of steel was used in the construction of the wheel, which is 25% more than the amount of iron used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
