Ras Al Khaimah literally soared into 2026 with a jaw-dropping display of 2,026 synchronized drones forming a fiery phoenix – smashing the previous Guinness World Record for largest aerial drone show! 🔥 The 12-minute spectacle over Al Marjan Island blended Middle Eastern symbolism with cutting-edge tech, drawing cheers from 50,000+ spectators.
💡 Why it’s lit: The phoenix (representing renewal) flew alongside traditional fireworks in a first-of-its-kind 'pyro-drone' collab. Event organizers told NewspaperAmigo.com the show took 8 months to program, using AI-powered flight paths to avoid mid-air collisions.
🌍 Global impact: This record-breaker positions the UAE as a leader in entertainment tech – just as Dubai prepares to host the 2026 World Expo. Tourism officials confirm hotel bookings spiked 300% compared to last New Year’s Eve.
