Creative Proposal
LOOKING BACK
Ras Al Khaimah's NYE Show 2025
As the clock struck midnight, custom-built laser drones joined our fleet of 1,400 LED swarm drones to deliver a truly breathtaking performance. These technological marvels, developed in partnership with Light Electric, transformed the night sky into a radiant masterpiece. With their vibrant laser beams cutting through the darkness, the drones created dazzling illusions of shooting energy, captivating audiences and redefining the possibilities of LED, lasers, and swarm drone technology.
In addition to showcasing our innovative laser drone technology, the drone display broke two Guinness World Records: the Largest Aerial Display of a Tree Formed by Multirotors/Drones and the Largest Aerial Image of a Seashell Formed by Multirotors/Drones.

CREATIVE CONCEPT
The Spirit of Ras Al Khaimah Awakens
Inspired by mythology and legends, here we have created our own...
Whispers of a guardian, dormant beneath the rugged peaks of Jebel Jais. There is a creature protecting Ras Al Khaimah that contains a great power.
But tonight, something stirs. As midnight nears on Al Marjan Island, anticipation simmers. The clock counts down. The earth trembles. Then, in a blaze of fire and light, the fabric of time tears open.
From the ashes, it rises. A Phoenix—the spirit of Ras Al Khaimah—soars into the night sky, its flaming wings a symbol of strength, renewal, and abundance
It journeys 2 kilometers across the bay, its fiery wingtips casting light and blessings over all below.
In a breathtaking moment, the Phoenix dives into the water and vanishes. From the depths, a human form rises, reborn from its spirit, representing the people of RAK who all contain this power.
Light beams spread across the bay, casting the spirit’s energy upon all who witness its transformation. A blessing for the New Year ahead.
