That's One BIG Wheel

Here’s a different spin on a popular carnival ride. This giant Ferris wheel is called the Ain Dubai (AHYN doo-BYE). It opened to the public last fall in the United Arab Emirates, a country in Asia. The Ain Dubai stretches 820 feet above the ground, making it the world’s tallest Ferris wheel. Up to 1,750 passengers can ride at a time in air-conditioned cabins. One round-trip takes about 38 minutes.
