Global Village has won yet another Guinness World Record, this time for the "Largest Illuminated Steel Sculpture of a Bird".

With its wings spread wide, the steel falcon, a tribute to the UAE’s national bird, stands at just under 8-metres tall with a wingspan of over 22-metres.

It weighs over 8,000kg and is covered by 50,000 lights, making it a unique Instagrammable spot in Dubai.

Built in commemoration of its significance to UAE’s culture and identity, the falcon structure is a dazzling display that can only be seen at Global Village, home of the newly launched Mini World, where families and friends are welcome to explore 25 miniature replicas of world-famous landmarks and indulge in international cuisines.
