You can find many skyscrapers in Dubai to enjoy a good view but the best a ferris wheel is a fun way to enjoy the Dubai skyline as well. Dubai has many records to its name when it comes to being the biggest in one including the tallest building and the biggest shopping mall of the the world. In 2019 an new record can be added, because in that year the largest Ferris wheel in the world will be opened in Dubai, the Ain Dubai at Bluewaters island. While waiting for that wheel you can visit another wheel with a view: the Festival Wheel, a new Ferris wheel in Dubai.
The Festival Wheel Ferris Wheel is located on the south side of the bustling Dubai Festival City Mall. The Ferris wheel is right along the water of the Dubai Creek. If you are at the very top of the Festival Wheel you will have a wonderful view of the city, but also of the creek and the nature park that borders it.
The Festival Wheel has a height over more than forty meters and contains thirty capsules. You can visit the Festival Wheel during the day and in the evening, but it’s recommended to visit the wheel around sunset. When you are at the very top, you will get a unique view of the sun that goes down behind the beautiful skyline of Dubai. For an additional charge you can use an extra luxury capsule in the Festival Wheel: six people fit in this VIP Capsule. This capsule has a glass floor, so that you can view the city and its surroundings even better. In this capsule you can sit comfortably on benches with leather upholstery.
