The spectacular fireworks in Ras Al Khaimah, which has broken Guinness World Records every year for the last five years, will return with dazzling new choreography elements and techniques that have never been done before. Stretching across the 4.5km waterfront between Al Marjan Island and Al Hamra Village, the display aims to set new records.

Residents and visitors will be able to choose from two events where they can watch the fireworks. A free public event will offer DJ entertainment, kids' activities, food trucks, and a section for bachelors and families. A private ticketed event called Soundfest will have international artists performing, a kids’ area, and a variety of food options.
