World's Largest Hot Air Balloon Glow Show
Saudi Arabia, March 10, 2022 — AlUla Moments, in association with SAHAB (Saudi Arabian Ballooning Federation), has broken the Guinness World Records title for the World’s Largest Hot Air Balloon Glow Show.
On March 1, 2022 near Hegra, the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saudi Arabia, s total of 142 brightly-lit balloons were streamlined together in a show over the ancient site that brightened the skies and illuminated the rock-strewn desert landscape. The site is famous for more than 100 carved Nabataean tombs, which feature more than 2000 years of remarkably well-preserved inscriptions and symbols on the sandstone mountains.
A total of 142 brightly-lit balloons were streamlined together in the show over the ancient site that brightened the skies and illuminated the rock-strewn desert landscape.
The previous record was also achieved in AlUla - during its arts and cultural festival, Winter at Tantora, in 2019 - that time it was with 100 balloons.
The World’s Largest Hot Air Balloon Glow Show on March 1, 2022, was part of AlUla Skies, a new festival in the AlUla Moments event calendar. The celebration included sunrise and sunset balloon experiences, with around 150 balloons each morning floating serenely over the stunning ancient site.
AlUla Moments’ winter events calendar offers engaging arts, music, and cultural experiences running until the end of March 2022.
