The 250 m (820 ft) Ain Dubai (previously named the Dubai Eye or Dubai) at Bluewaters Island in the United Arab delays pushed the target opening to 20 October 2020, in order to coincide with Expo 2020, but this itself has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The wheel is currently scheduled to open a year later after that date, on 21 October 2021. Ain Dubai will be 82.4 m (270 ft) taller than the current world’s tallest observation wheel, the 167.6 m (550 ft) High Roller, which opened in Las Vegas in March 2014. The wheel will be able to carry up to 1,400 passengers in its 48 capsules and provide views of Dubai Marina and landmarks such as Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Khalifa. Its base will serve as an entertainment zone, and an 80-metre (260 ft) LED screen will be mounted on the wheel creating an electronic platform for broadcasting, advertisements, and other information. #aindubai --- The Crown Prince of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed
