Record-breaking graffiti


Graffiti is writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface, often in a public place. Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, has directed the prompt implementation of a new art and cultural project, entitled ‘Our Journey’, marking the UAE’s 43rd National Day celebrations. 

Expected to enter Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s longest graffiti, ‘Our Journey’ is 2,180 metres long and will be executed by the Crown Prince Office in collaboration with Brand Dubai, and initiative launched by the Government of Dubai Media Office.


Resembling UAE’s map and the seven emirates, His Highness directed that ‘Our Journey’ should mirror glimpses of UAE history, starting from the beautiful past to the bright present and promising future.

The project responds to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to make Dubai an open air gallery that reflects the city’s unique experiment and outstanding achievements.
