Reality behind natural pyramid-like mountain discovered in Antarctica
In recent years, Dubai has become synonymous with luxury and extravagance, as well as modern marvels such as the Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world. However, just a few years ago, Dubai added another attraction to its skyline that was intended to rival even the Burj Khalifa in terms of grandeur and spectacle – the Ain Dubai ferris wheel. This colossal ferris wheel was hailed as the largest in the world, and the ambitious project involved a consortium of international companies and took around six years to complete.
Unfortunately, despite the initial hype and excitement surrounding the Ain Dubai, it was forced to close just months after its grand opening. The exact reasons why the wheel shut down so abruptly remains a mystery, but Dubai officials have confirmed that it is currently closed indefinitely due to undisclosed enhancement works. As a result, many locals and tourists alike are left wondering if the Ain Dubai will ever spin again, with some even speculating that it may be shut down permanently.
Despite the uncertainty, this magnificent attraction remains a fascinating piece of engineering and a curious tale that is sure to capture the imagination of anyone interested in grand feats of modern architecture.
The Dubai Eye, a tourist attraction that boasts of breaking records, has its main entrance closed for over a year now, leaving ticket booths abandoned and only attracting a handful of tourists who are interested in taking pictures of the LED lights mounted on its exterior.
The city of Dubai has numerous landmarks, but the Dubai Eye is the largest of its kind globally, towering at a height of 250 m, which is nearly twice as tall as the London Eye. Unfortunately, there is no official explanation as to why the ferris wheel is not operational, causing speculations to arise about technical issues it might be facing.
Employees who spoke anonymously claimed that the wheel is heavier than the man-made island it sits on, making it quite dangerous, and that it has also been noisy during its few months of operation. It is currently a mere decoration for the lighting displays, and that is its only use at the moment.
