RAK New Year’s Eve 2020 website goes live

The www.raknye.com website has been launched for 2020, serving as a window to the upcoming Ras Al Khaimah New Year’s Eve celebration, which is set to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Emirate. Presented in English and Arabic, the website enables you to plan your visit to Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) to attend one of the world’s most spectacular fireworks displays and a wide range of family entertainment activities on New Year’s Eve.

In 2019, Ras Al Khaimah welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world to its NYE event and also set two Guinness World Records — for the ‘Longest chain of fireworks’ and for the ‘Longest straight line of fireworks’. The 2018 celebration set a new world record for the ‘Largest aerial firework shell’.

The website serves as the gateway to know all about the event as well as the place to book tickets for the Gala Dinner that will be headlined by multi-Platinum singer, songwriter and fashion icon, Najwa Karam, and celebrity singer Waleed Al Shami. You can also book hotels in Ras Al Khaimah via the website as well as gain detailed information on the various tourist attractions in the Emirate.

In addition to celebrating the New Year, you can also take the opportunity for an extended getaway in Ras Al Khaimah and explore the myriad delights — from a natural coastline to magnificent mountains and the world’s longest zipline. Any ticket bookings to enjoy these attractions can also be done on the website.

And on social media, share your photos and videos using the official hashtag #RAKNYE2020.

A spokesperson for RAK NYE 2020 said: “Ras Al Khaimah New Year’s Eve has established itself as a must-see event for people from across the UAE and beyond after the major successes of the previous years’ events, where 3 Guinness World Records were won.

“This year we’re attempting another two fireworks world records and have laid on a huge array of entertainment that will ensure all ages are catered for.

“From a gala dinner, celebrated singers, family fun and a DJ event, Ras Al Khaimah New Year’s Eve 2020 is an opportunity to see in the New Year in style, while enjoying the multitude of attractions this up-and-coming Emirate has to offer.

“www.raknye.com is your gateway to all the information you need to make this New Year an unforgettable experience.” The website provides a detailed snapshot of the public viewing areas as well as information on the family activities that await visitors. The organizers are putting the finishing touches to special family zones complete with food trucks and children’s activities as well as live music and games.
