Ferris wheels were once the center of the town fair. Now they are key parts of major metropolitan skylines. But none can top the heights of the Ain Dubai — meaning “Dubai Eye” in Arabic — which is scheduled to open on Oct. 21. At more than 250 meters, Ain Dubai is 82 meters higher than the current world's tallest ferris wheel in operation, the High Roller in Las Vegas. It is almost twice the size of the London Eye.
摩天輪曾經是市集的中心。現在，它們是主要大都市天際線的關鍵部分。但沒有一個能超越預計在10月21日開幕的艾因杜拜-阿拉伯語義中為'杜拜之眼'-的高度。杜拜之眼高250多公尺，比目前世界運行中的最高摩天輪，拉斯維加斯的豪客摩天輪高82公尺。它幾乎是倫敦眼的兩倍。
First announced in February 2013, Ain Dubai has taken more than eight years to complete. Construction began in May 2015, with an anticipated completion date of early to mid-2019. That date was later pushed to October 20, 2020, which was then pushed back another year when Expo 2020 was delayed by a year due to the pandemic.
杜拜之眼於2013年2月首次對外發布，歷時超過8年完工。2015年5月開始施工，原本預計2019年初到年中完工。但完工日期被延後到2020年10月20日，結果又因為大流行病導致2020年世博會被推遲，再往後延一年。
The structure has 48 enclosed cabins, some of which can fit up to 40 passengers. In total, 1,750 people can ride at the same time, according to the attraction.
這個摩天輪有48個封閉式座艙，其中有一些座艙可以容納40名乘客。根據景點的統計，總共有1750人可以同時乘坐。
There are three different types of cabin to take in the 38-minute rotation: observation cabins (the standard option), social cabins (these are the "VIP" option and have a bar in the center of the pod) and private cabins, which can be booked out for special occasions and include the option of a private three-course dinner over two rotations of the wheel.
在38分鐘的旋轉中，有三種不同類型的座艙可供選擇:觀景座艙(標準型)，社交座艙(這些是VIP型並且在座艙中央有酒吧)和私人座艙，可以依照特殊場合預訂，包含可以選擇在摩天輪旋轉兩圈時享用三道菜的晚餐。
Bringing all of this to fruition has meant pulling in expertise from all corners of the globe -- consultants from the UAE, South Korea, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Italy all contributed to key aspects of the design.
這一切的實現，意味著從世界各地引進專業技能-來自阿聯酋、韓國、德國、英國、荷蘭、法國及義大利的顧問，都為設計的關鍵層面做出貢獻。
