Ras Al Khaimah, welcomed 2023 with a mesmerising pyro-musical show, smashing two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles. Securing the title of the ‘largest number of operated multi-rotors/drones with a simultaneous fireworks display’ with record-breaking 671 operated drones, and setting a brand-new world record for the largest aerial sentence formed by multirotors/drones created with 673 drones, the 12-minute spectacle lit up the sky with a jaw-dropping pyrotechnic performance and larger-than-life fireworks display.
Attracting visitors from around the world, the show featured state of the art drones, nano lights, colors and shapes all choreographed to electric beats. Covering a stretch of over 4.7 kilometers, it reached a height of 1,100 meters and smashed the previous record of 458 drones. Culminating in a ‘Happy New Year 2023’ message to signal new beginnings, the drones then seamlessly transitioned into the Emirate’s iconic ‘RAKashida’ logo to tie back to the destination.
Raki Phillips, CEO, Ras Al Khaimah Development Authority said, “Ras Al Khaimah has once again proven its position as a leading tourism destination that welcomes people from all over the globe. Not only have we set two new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles for our #RAKNYE2023 celebrations, but we’ve also given thousands of visitors and residents a New Year’s Eve show that they’ll never forget. This marks a great start to what is set to be a hugely exciting and busy year for us as we continue to build the reputation of Ras Al Khaimah as the must-visit destination for 2023.”
