#PROJECT: GREAT DUBAI WHEEL (Arjan) - Page 6

***Parisian Girl*** · January 8th, 2012, 10:48 PM

Dubailand, the stalled real estate and tourism resort, has ditched plans to build a 185m Ferris wheel set to rival
the London Eye in the latest setback to the troubled multibillion-dollar project

The Great Dubai Wheel, an AED250m ($68m) observation wheel, was set to be a leading tourist attraction within
Dubailand’s Arjan development, but was scrapped amid a wider revamp of the project

'Originally the brochure said it was included,’ said Ashok Galgotia, CEO of Triveni Builders and Promoters, the
subcontractors that last week handed over the first units at Arjan’

‘But we were told [the Great Dubai Wheel] would not be coming and it would be something else. They are
negotiating [to find a replacement] attraction’

Dubailand was one of the Gulf emirate’s most ambitious developments, announced at the height of the real
estate bubble

it's a stunning design and a breathtaking concept. but authorities will have to decide on a location wisely because it is going to be a crown jewel in the list of attractions in Dubai.

I vote for Seef Street, or perhaps Jewl of the Creek... that part of the city has a lot more to offer in terms of views than the middle of Dubailand!

I agree with you and my personal favorite is Jewel of the creek. After all it should offer more in terms of scenic beauty and the glories of Dubai.
