What is Ain Dubai and what is it famous for?
Ain Dubai is the largest observation wheel in the world, located on Bluewaters Island. Standing at 250 meters tall, it towers over the city, offering breathtaking panoramic views. I bought a ticket for sunset to see the city transform into evening lights. The cabins are spacious, with panoramic windows and comfortable seating. In one rotation, which takes about 38 minutes, I was able to take in all the key attractions: Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Marina. It’s not just an attraction; it’s a true engineering marvel, symbolizing Dubai’s ambitions and aspirations for new heights.

Dubai Airport also plays a key role, being one of the main transit hubs for cargo and passenger transportation. The city is actively investing in infrastructure and technology, striving to simplify logistics and trading operations.

Go to question pageIn Dubai, the UAE Dirham (AED) is used. The exchange rate is usually stable against the US dollar: 1 dollar ≈ 3.67 dirhams. You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, exchange offices and shopping malls. I have noticed that exchange rates in the city are often more profitable than at the airport or hotels. ATMs are ubiquitous, and you can withdraw cash from international cards, but pay attention to the possible fees of your bank. Many places accept credit cards, but it is always useful to have some cash with you for small expenses, especially in markets or small cafes.
Go to question pagePublic transportation in Dubai is a model of efficiency and modernity. The Dubai Metro is an automated, driverless system that covers the main areas of the city. I often used the metro, enjoying fast and comfortable rides. The carriages are clean, air-conditioned, and some offer beautiful city views. Buses and trams complement the metro network, providing access even to remote areas. Fares are paid using the Nol Card, which can be easily topped up at machines at stations. For a more scenic route, try the water taxi or an abra, a traditional wooden boat that will transport you across Dubai Creek in just a few minutes.
