In Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Festival's Supreme Organising Committee in Al Wathba has announced a New Year's Eve programme featuring a 53-minute continuous fireworks display aiming to set a record for the length, variety, and scale of the show. Preceding the grand fireworks, 6,000 drones will light up the Al Wathba skies in a 20-minute show starting at 23:40, creating artistic formations, including a world-first image by 3,000 drones and a display symbolising New Year's aspirations. Additionally, various locations in Abu Dhabi, such as the Corniche, Yas Island, Al Hudayriyat Island, and others, will host diverse and impressive fireworks shows. Dubai is gearing up to host over 45 fireworks displays across 36 strategic locations on New Year's Eve 2025.

It features 25-minute fireworks displays at three destinations: Al Majaz Waterfront (five minutes), Al Heera Beach (10 minutes), and Khorfakkan Beach (10 minutes). Each destination will offer unique activities catering to audiences of all ages. Meanwhile, Ras Al Khaimah has completed preparations to captivate audiences with extraordinary shows, including fireworks and drone displays with laser effects. The emirate aims to set new Guinness World Records during the 15-minute display, titled Our Story in the Sky, the longest ever organised by Ras Al Khaimah for New Year's celebrations. The performance will consist of three segments inspired by the emirate's natural beauty, heritage, and culture, culminating in a remarkable display of fireworks and drones at midnight. Last year, Ras Al Khaimah set two Guinness World Records during its New Year's Eve celebrations for the Longest Sequence of Floating Fireworks and the Longest Straight-Line Drone Show. (ANI/WAM)
