Using 1,400 drones, synchronized fireworks, and lasers, the show featured stunning visuals. The seashell display, with 982 intricate elements, earned the first record, while the tree formation, crafted with all 1,400 drones, achieved the second.
Emma Brain, an official from Guinness World Records, shared that the verification process involved strict criteria. The minimum benchmarks were 750 drones for the seashell and 1,200 for the tree, both of which Ras Al Khaimah surpassed with ease.
Raki Phillips, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, expressed pride in this achievement, calling it a testament to the Emirate’s creativity and cultural pride. He added, “As we step into 2025, we will deliver even more unforgettable experiences for residents and visitors.”
