Ras Al Khaimah will ring in the New Year with yet another Guinness World Records-worthy fireworks display.

The spectacular 12-minute show on New Year's Eve will cover a 4.7 km stretch along the waterfront between Al-Marjan Island and Al-Hamra Village.

The display will be open to the public in compliance with the government's COVID-19 safety protocols.

Organisers are hoping to clinch two new world records with the fireworks performance that will feature pyrodrones, lights, colours and shapes.

Ras Al Khaimah welcomed 2021 with a dazzling 10-minute fireworks show that underlined the UAE’s message of hope, peace and achievements.

The emirate earlier made history with the New Year’s Eve Gala of 2020, which won the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles for the 'Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Launching Fireworks Simultaneously' and the 'Longest Fireworks Waterfall.'

The Emirate also secured two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for the 'Longest Chain of Fireworks' and the 'Longest Straight Line of Fireworks' with the 2019 New Year’s Eve Fireworks.
