The world's tallest observation wheel, Ain Dubai is shaping up well and has successfully installed its first capsule.

A spokesperson for the project said the remaining 47 capsules are scheduled for gradual installation.

The giant Ferris wheel stands at a height of more than 250 metres above the Bluewaters island, giving 360-degree views of Dubai's skyline.

When complete, it will be the world's largest and highest attraction of its kind.
