In a dazzling celebration to welcome 2024, Ras Al Khaimah achieved two remarkable Guinness World Records on January 1. The emirate set the stage for an eight-minute-long extravaganza featuring a breathtaking display of fireworks and drones, securing titles for the ‘Longest chain of aquatic floating fireworks’ spanning an impressive 5.8km and the ‘Longest straight-line drones display’ covering a total length of 2km.
The groundbreaking showcase employed cutting-edge techniques, including the synchronization of 1,050 LED drones, a mesmerizing ‘carpet’ of aquatic floating fireworks, and an acrobatic pyro planes display inspired by the natural wonders of Ras Al Khaimah—its desert, sea, and mountains. The entire spectacle was meticulously choreographed to a specially composed musical score for the occasion.
Ras Al Khaimah, a city renowned for its iconic New Year’s Eve celebrations, added to its list of accomplishments with this historic event. The breathtaking display illuminated the skies along the 4.5km stretch of Ras Al Khaimah’s waterfront, leaving spectators awe-struck and contributing to the emirate’s reputation for hosting world-class events.
