The kite fest, from January 29 to January 31, will be held at the beach in Jumeirah 3, behind Sunset Mall. It will feature some of the world’s finest kite flying teams from 25 countries , governed and approved by the International Kite Flying Association in the US, according to organisers. There will also be an attempt to set a Guinness World Record with the 15,000 participants flying kites simultaneously at 15 or more locations across Dubai.
