The Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SFCPD) and the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) will launch the world’s two largest Saudi flags with a length of 400 meters and width of 350 meters. These flags will be registered in the Guinness Book of Records.  Saudi independence day is September 23, 2018 for the 88th anniversary.

The fireworks are supplied by Grucci, a fireworks company headquartered in Bellport in New York’s Long Island. The company holds the Guinness World Record in the categories of “Largest Fireworks Display” and “Largest Pyrotechnic Image”.

Phil Grucci, the Chief Executive of Grucci, said: “We have been working on this for only two months now, although a program of this size and magnitude would take eight months to a year. Fireworks have been made and manufactured and shipped from all over the world.”

Three hundred drones will fly over Riyadh and Jeddah in the shape of the Saudi flag.  This is also being eyed by the Guinness book of records.

In recent years,  fireworks and drones have been show together in a number of events including drones shows both indoors and outside.  Intel has been a leader in the field of drone light shows.
