Five Guinness World Records were broken across two emirates on New Year's Eve alone.

Two records were achieved in Ras Al Khaimah, following an eight-minute fireworks and drone display to celebrate the New Year.

At Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Festival in Al Wathba, a 40-minute fireworks display, featuring 5,000 drones, broke four records in terms of duration, quantity and design intricacy.

In Dubai last year, the Hollywood-style Hatta mountain marker in Dubai broke the record for the tallest landmark sign.

Guinness World Records awarded the sign, which is 19.28 metres tall, the title of “Tallest Landmark Sign”.
