A bit of history

The Guinness World Records started back in 1955 as a fun idea to settle debates in pubs. People often argued about who or what was the fastest, biggest or most extreme… So, the Guinness team decided to make a book with verified facts to settle these debates once and for all.

Over time, it grew into the global record-keeping phenomenon we know today, celebrating incredible human feats and amazing accomplishments from around the world! Now, UAE heroes are on the list. Bravo!
