Cairo Eye, the observation wheel will open in the capital of Egypt, Cairo in 2022. It is the largest in Africa and the fifth-largest in the world. It offers bird’s-eye views for up to 31 miles. This view is including the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx as well as the city. The wheel has 48 cabins and every cabin can be used up to 8 people.
