This NYE fireworks drone show just broke two world records [Video]
The United Arab Emirates has welcomed 2023 in style with a record-breaking drone show. A dazzling 12-minute display of over 670 drones, covering 4.7 km of beachfront and reaching a height of 1,100 meters, smashed two Guinness World Records titles as Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate of the UAE, ushered in the New Year.
The drone show was a part of a jaw-dropping pyro-musical performance that included a larger-than-life fireworks display. Drones took shape in the sky to help the crowd count down to midnight before signaling new beginnings with the highest-ever “Happy New Year 2023” message.
Then the drones seamlessly transitioned into the Emirate’s iconic RAKashida logo to tie back to the destination. The logo represents the Emirate’s three uniquely recognizable natural elements: the sea, the desert, and the mountains.
