After regaling the world and captivating visitors and residents with resplendent fireworks to usher in the 2019 New Year, Ras Al Khaimah is preparing for the most dazzling edition to date – as it readies to welcome 2020 with a mesmerising fireworks display.
Planned to surpass all the record-breaking fireworks galas hosted by Ras Al Khaimah in the past years, #RAKNYE2020 promises to be a mind-boggling feat – where pyrotechnics, fireworks and laser displays will create a dazzling experience.
The show will feature pyro-drones for never-before-seen fireworks starting with the countdown and culminating with Ras Al Khaimah’s main landmarks being recreated in the sky.
There will be a special Japanese aerial shell fireworks display.
The two new experiences are set to clinch two Guinness World Records.
The event will be even more special this year with a range of celebrities – including top performers from the Arab world – set to put forth an awe-inspiring music performance.
Details of the event and tickets sales will be revealed in October.
Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah will once again serve as the hub of lively entertainment and festivities this New Year’s Eve, with the fireworks to light up the night skies from offshore.
