| dbo:abstract | Cairo Eye, also known as Ain Cairo (Arabic: عين القاهرة) is a ferris wheel under construction located on the banks of the Nile River in the Zamalek district of Cairo, Egypt. It will be considered Cairo's first recreational and touristic observation wheel spanning over 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft) of land area and a height of 120 metres (390 ft), making it the largest ferris wheel in Africa and the fifth largest worldwide, expected to attract around 2.5 million visitors a year. In recent years, the adjacent city of Giza, home to the Sphinx and pyramids, has received the lion's share of tourism projects. From Giza's long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum to the new pyramids visitor center and the recently opened Sphinx International Airport, Egypt is betting big on Giza tourism and hopes the same for Cairo. In accordance with Egypt's 2030 Vision, Egypt aims to resuscitate its tourism sector with the new tourist attraction. As Egypt’s tourism authority anticipates that the wheel will certainly boost Egypt's economy, especially after the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. (en) |
