40-minute fireworks show in Abudhabi will attempt to break three Guinness World Records

UAE always showcases spectacular New Year celebrations with breathtaking fireworks, drone shows and exciting entertainment shows. Abu Dhabi will attempt to break three Guinness World Records this year, as part of Sheikh Zayed Festival's NYE celebrations. The Organising Committee of the Sheikh Zayed Festival, which is currently taking place at Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi, has lined up a series of world-class folkloric and entertainment events and performances as part of its New Year celebrations.

The 40-minute fireworks show will attempt to break three records in quantity, time and formation. A giant drone show, using more than 3,000 unmanned aerial vehicles, will also light up the skies of Al Wathba.

This will be the world's first show of its kind and magnitude. There will be plenty of entertainment for children, including theatre shows, circus performances, games at Funfair City, and other activities. The festival features more than 60 gastronomic selections spread across numerous areas, including “Egrab” food trucks, which means “Come closer” in Emirati dialect, kiosks, pavilion restaurants, Souk Al Wathba restaurants and the Art District restaurants, with a vast selection of food and beverages choices from all over the world.

The Sheikh Zayed Festival, until March 18, 2023, will welcome visitors daily from 4 pm until 12 am, both weekdays and on weekends. The cultural event features thousands of local, international and folkloric performances, and activities, curated to create a one-of-a-kind joyful destination for all members of the family.
