MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Ras Al Khaimah welcomed 2025 with a drone and fireworks show, setting two new Guinness world records titles for “Largest aerial depiction of a tree made by drones” and “Largest aerial image of a shell made by drones.”
The show titled “Our Story in the Sky” delivered a memorable celebration, paying tribute to the Emirate’s natural and cultural heritage.

Mysteries of the Sea celebrated the maritime heritage of Ras Al Khaimah and its tradition in pearl fishing, enchanting the audience with elegant depictions of underwater life. Finally, Guiding Starlight paid tribute to the Emirate’s historic art of navigation, with celestial images and shooting stars symbolizing the importance of the sea, culminating in a dazzling crescendo of pyrotechnics that lit up the night sky.
