Bluewaters Area Guide – Dubai

Dubai Bluewaters Island is a man-made, mixed-use island development, and home to the world’s largest observation wheel — Ain Dubai. Established in 2018 by Meraas, the island has evolved into an integrated destination for residential, tourism, hospitality, and leisure. Linked to the mainland by a 265‑metre pedestrian bridge, it provides visitors with direct access to entertainment, food and beverage services, and beach facilities.
