Abu Dhabi’s National Day Guinness World Records attempt

Excitement and anticipation is building on Yas Island as an array of elaborately decorated cars descend on Abu Dhabi's entertainment destination in an attempt to break the Guinness World records title for the largest number of decorated cars in one location.

With hundreds of vehicles expected to take part, Emiratis and expatriates from across the country have worked hard to dress-up their vehicles and show their love of the UAE - emphasizing the nationalistic theme of the event - in a bid to impress the judges.
