Dubai has broken yet another Guinness World Record; this time for the surgical removal of the world's largest kidney. 

The world record certificate was officially handed to Dr. Fariborz Bagheri, head of the Urology Department at Dubai Hospital, on Thursday, Gulf News reported. 

This comes months after the governing board of the records verified data confirming that the kidney, which was surgically removed at the hospital, was the largest in the world. 

Weighing a whopping 4.25 KG, the kidney surpassed that of the previous 2.14 KG record. 

Speaking to Gulf News, Dr. Bagheri who led the five-hour surgery, expressed the hospital team's happiness at receiving the award. 

During a press conference, he explained patient Ahmad Saeed's rare condition and the circumstances that led to his surgery. 

Talal Omar, head of the Guinness World Records’ Dubai office spoke to Gulf News and explained that "the committee spent many months studying the extremely complex medical records, and is happy to officially announce the record title of the largest kidney after the completion of the assessment.“

"As the leading global authority on breaking records, we want to challenge the way people and brands view themselves. We believe in offering record breaking ideas for everyone, everywhere and will continue to seek out new and exciting records in the UAE — a market that has no dearth of creative ideas and inspiration,” he added.

This is certainly not the first time Dubai breaks a Guinness world record. The city is actually no stranger to breaking them at all. 

Earlier in 2017, Dubai broke the records for the largest number of nationalities having a continental breakfast under one roof and the world's longest selfie stick. 

In 2016, the city also broke the records for the largest transforming human image, the largest clothes donation, and the longest domino drop shot. 

In 2015, Tayer Group alongside NGO Dubai Autism Center organized a record-breaking painting on the streets of Dubai, measuring 10,850 meters, to raise awareness about autism.

During that same year, the city also broke the record for the world's longest handmade gold chain, measuring 5 kilometers long.

The UAE aspires to become the happiest country in the world, and Dubai Police have decided to pursue that goal in a unique way.

How? 

Emirati police have installed a giant smiling emoji on the roof of Deira's Al Muraqqabat Police Station. 

Dubai police major general said the installation aims to give "hope to all those who are looking at it" and will lead to a "spirit of optimism," according to an official Facebook post.

While the emoji is just in Deira for now, the friendly yellow faces will start popping up all over Dubai in the near future. 

In February of 2016, the UAE showed its commitment to making its citizens and residents happy by appointing its first-ever minister of happiness.

The Ministry of Happiness, which is led by Minister Ohood bint Khalfan Al Roumi, is concerned with promoting and sustaining happiness throughout the UAE.

The World Happiness Council aims to improve the state of happiness throughout the UAE and across the world, focusing on health, education, environment, personal happiness, happy cities, and community standards for happiness.  

Calling it a world's first, the development by Dubai South, will be an "innovative concept in urban living that aims to create a city that is based on the happiness and wellbeing of people."

The development will uniquely address residents' everyday needs by creating a highly walkable city with plenty of parking spots and enough entry points to eliminate traffic congestion.

Currently, the UAE is ranked as the 21st happiest country in the world on the World Happiness Report 2017 [PDF]. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, ruler of Dubai and vice president and prime minister of the UAE, has previously voiced the nation's goal of reaching the top of that ranking within the coming years.

A lot of Arabs already see the UAE as the ideal place to build a life.

According to the 2015 Arab Youth Survey, more young Arab people want to live in the UAE than in any other country in the world. The country leads with 20 percent of respondents selecting the Gulf nation followed by the United States with 15 percent, Germany with 10 percent, and Canada with 10 percent.

Apparently, the UAE is doing something right.
