Kuwait Delivers The Biggest Fireworks Display Ever [VIDEO]
12 Nov 2012 by Jasmine Stone in Entertainment
When they go big in the Persian Gulf, they go big. Kuwait has done just that, and set a new Guinness World Record for the biggest fireworks display ever.
Kuwait was celebrating its golden jubilee anniversary of its constitution on Saturday, and it did so with the biggest fireworks display of all time.
The country’s capital, Kuwait City, used 77 282 fireworks, launched over the period of an hour, to set the new record.
It cost the city R140 million.
The Daily Mail reported:
The visual presentation marked 50 years to the day since the late emir Sheikh Abdullah al-Salem al-Sabah announced that Kuwait had become the first Arab state in the Gulf to issue a constitution and have a parliament.
Before the festivities Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah pledged the government’s continuing commitment to democracy and made a plea for national unity as the wealthy Gulf state struggles with a political crisis.
