The first record was for accomplishing a captivating firework display with the use of 173 PyroDronesTM, all executing a seamlessly created firework display, simultaneously.
The second record for the 'Longest Fireworks Waterfall' at 3,788.86 metres trumped the existing one set in Fukuoka, Japan, which was for a length of 3,517.23 metres. The fireworks, at least 28 cm long and 3 cm in diameter, were hung across the 3,788.86 metre length, creating one of the most amazing fireworks displays that created a spellbinding effect on the audience. It also served as the grand finale of the event.
Crowds thronged the main venue of Al Marjan Island, the flagship residential and hospitality development by Marjan, the master-developer of Ras Al Khaimah, from early in the evening as well as at viewing decks along Al Hamra. Several family activities and food stalls engaged audiences until the countdown to the New Year and the fireworks display.
For the first time, Ras Al Khaimah also hosted the New Year's Eve Gala Dinner that was headlined by multi-Platinum singer, songwriter, and fashion icon, Najwa Karam, and celebrity singer Waleed Al Shami.
A spokesperson of the high-level organising committee of the Ras Al Khaimah New Years' Eve Gala said: "Ras Al Khaimah is in the global spotlight with the New Year's Eve Gala, which has added to the reputation of our nation and welcomed hundreds of thousands of guests for one of the most spectacular events to usher in 2020."
In 2019, Ras Al Khaimah welcomed visitors from around the world to its NYE event that set two Guinness World Records titles - for the 'Longest chain of fireworks' and for the 'Longest straight line of fireworks'. The 2018 celebration set a new world record for the 'Largest aerial firework shell'.
