Record for largest hot air balloon glow show broken in AlUla – The National

The Guinness World Record for the world’s largest hot air balloon glow show was broken in Saudi Arabia last week.

As part of AlUla Moments, the new record set on March 1 featured a show of 142 brightly-lit hot air balloons taking to the skies near Hegra.

"The project aimed to position AlUla as an international destination for hot air balloons and increase AlUla’s awareness globally as a tourist destination for unique adventurous experiences while diversifying the economic benefits for the local community from adventure travel and tourism sector the area can host," Guinness World Records has said of the feat, on its website.
