Months before the national celebrations season officially kicked-off, Zain sought to prepare a grand celebratory project that befits Kuwait's festivities and was keen on leveraging on its investment in technology to present the project in the most spectacular fashion. This resulted in a collaboration with the Touristic Enterprises Company (TEC) to host a special aerial drone show that featured 2,000 drones from Zain, lighting up the skies of the Green Island with the most breathtaking images. In collaboration with TEC, Zain's 2,000 drones presented a total of 8 shows throughout an entire month, a technical feat that came for the first time in the MENA region. Zain is extremely proud of this accomplishment, achieved in Kuwait's name.

The drones took flight in Kuwait's skies, precisely above the Green Island, painting breathtaking images that awed the crowds below. The images depicted Kuwait's past and present identities, including the Kuwait flag, the official logo of this year's national celebrations, pearl diving, desert life, and more. Next, the drones painted beautiful images of Kuwait's most prominent buildings, including Seif Palace, the National Assembly, the Grand Mosque, Kuwait Towers, and others. The shows concluded with stunning portraits of HH the Amir and HH the Crown Prince.

Activities at Winter Wonderland

Under its strategic partnership with Winter Wonderland Kuwait, the biggest and first winter-themed carnival of its kind in the nation in collaboration with TEC, Zain held many exciting activities and competitions for visitors at WWL in collaboration with 360 FM to celebrate Kuwait's national holidays. Zain held the fun activities at its booth in WWL, where large crowds of families, children, and young people joined to take part in the company's competitions and win special prizes. Entertainer Osama Fouda hosted the special activities, interacting with the crowds LIVE on 360 FM for a week.

Zain was keen on being one of the first strategic supporters of Winter Wonderland, which comes to Kuwait for the very first time all the way from London, as part of its belief in the vital role played by the Kuwaiti private sector in supporting entertainment and recreational venues in the nation. Winter Wonderland offers a fun, immersive, and safe setting that meets the best standards, and contributes to progressing the local economic and touristic scenes.
