Having set the world’s largest flower arrangement as well as the world’s largest environment sustainability lesson, it was only a matter of time before the UAE breaks another record. Just recently, the world’s largest aerial projection screen was featured in the Dubai night sky.
The new Guinness World Record was made by one of the country’s leading development companies, Wasl Asset Management Group. As part of the Year of Zayed 2018 celebrations, it commemorates the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE.

In case you missed it, here are the highlights of the record-breaking event:
- The aerial screen measured 300-feet, breaking the previous world record, a 250-foot screen in New York City.
- A video was presented on the aerial screen through live projection mapping and augmented reality tracking.
- Two helicopters projected the screen over the city, starting from Skydive Dubai — hovering above Dubai Coast, Zabeel Park, wasl1 (latest project of Wasl), Dubai Creek — then back again to Skydive Dubai. The flight lasted for about 90 minutes.
- The screen displayed a short film about the “Year of Zayed 2018,” showcasing the legacy and values imparted by the UAE’s founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed.
