The island can be accessed easily from the mainland via a bridge from Sheikh Zayed Road. You can also get there on foot. It's an easy 15-minute walk across the pedestrian bridge from Jumeirah Beach Residence, and the views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah and JBR aren't bad either.

What are the different types of pods on Ain Dubai?

Depending on your Ain Dubai tickets, there are different pods you might ride in. There are currently three kinds open to the public: private cabins, observation cabins and social cabins. If you're riding with your family, the observation cabins offer excellent chances to point out all the highlights of Dubai’s glittering skyline. Ain Dubai's social cabins come with three drinks to enjoy as you "fly". If you're feeling fancy, you can upgrade these to include your very own bar. Tickets for the social cabins also include access to Ain Dubai’s Seaview Lounge, which is another great place to get those top skyline snaps. If you're celebrating a special occasion, the Ain Dubai private cabins will make it an event to remember.
