5 January 2014: Dubai breaks the Guinness World Record for the Largest Firework Display across the whole of The Palm Jumeirah and the islands of The World.
The World Record breaking display covered a distance of over 99.4 km of shoreline and featured hundreds of thousands of colourful fireworks and a series of scenes designed exclusively for the show and set to a musical soundtrack designed for the event.
The history-making performance saw 479,651 shells fired in just six minutes on New Year’s Eve, at a rate of almost 80K shells per minute and 1,332 fireworks per second.
Within the first minute, Dubai fired enough shells to break the previous Guinness World Records title record held by Kuwait with an hour-long show of 77,282 fireworks, achieved in November 2012, during the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the country’s constitution.
