Souq Al Jubail, the large fresh produce market, has been awarded the accolade of proprietor of the world's largest lantern by the Guinness World Records 2016.
The lantern, which was designed and built by Global Event Management Group, is located at the entrance to the Souq and stands at exactly 15.5 metres high and 5.6 metres wide. In accordance with the Guinness World Records official rules, the working structure is an exact scaled replica of an actual lantern and casts warm glow over the entrance to the market.
Speaking on the award, Ali Al Suwaidi, director of Souq Al Jubail, said that the lantern, which has been on display since June 27, will be a permanent feature at the souq.
"The lantern, which now stands as an iconic new landmark at the waterfront of Sharjah, will bring even more people to the market to enjoy our produce from the farm and sea," said Al Suwaidi.
The unveiling of the lantern will form part of Souq Al Jubail's ongoing Ramadan festival. The festival, which also features performances and loads of prizes to be won, will conclude at midnight on Saturday (July 9).
The Souq Al Jubail, a development project of Sharjah Asset Development, is located close to Sharjah's Central Market and boasts spectacular views over Khalid Lagoon and other city landmarks.
