Extraordinary Emirates: The UAE in World Records

By MOHAMMED MANNAN

Ambitious. Bold. Committed. Determined. Enterprising. Fascinating. This is how the UAE has remained with an enterprising spirit, innovative thinking, high human talent and ingenuity. Beginning in 1983 with the world's tallest stained-glass mural, the emirate a decade later got another world record for Burj Al Arab, the world's tallest all-suite hotel. Inside the 321-metres tall structure sat the world's tallest atrium of 590 feet. No other country of its size has to its credit a stunning array of world records in architecture, aviation, tourism, hospitality, sports, lifestyle, science, technology, banking, media, publishing, infrastructure, events, governance and human endeavour. This encyclopedic book is a tribute to it constantly outdoing itself, and grippingly narrates its portfolio of the world's first, biggest, fastest, highest, tallest, longest, largest, richest and expensive. Their details enable relish and rejoice in the excitement and thrills despite the passage of time. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, cogently summed up the unfaltering spirit and determination to excel. "Most people talk, we make things happen. They plan, we achieve. They hesitate, we move ahead. We are living proof of the courage and commitment which makes dreams transform into reality."
