Fujairah Musical Street Sets Guinness World Record for Length

Fujairah has officially secured a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest musical street, a 1,154-metre installation located in the Murbah area.

The project is situated on a main arterial road in Murbah, strategically chosen to ensure maximum visibility and utility for commuters and tourists visiting the emirate.
