UAE has added another world record to its kitty — its Hollywood-style Liwa marker has become the world’s tallest landmark sign. Interestingly, it has beaten Dubai's Hatta mountain marker to claim the first spot.
The Abu Dhabi Media Office announced about the new Guinness World Record title on Wednesday.
Built 197 metres above sea level on a hill, the metal installation in Al Dhafra region weighs 49 tonnes and is 23.5m tall.
