It seems we’ve had enough of our “Lebanese foods” (hummous, tabbouleh, kebbe) and we’ve decided to super-size the Lebanese flag:
The Lebanese military on Sunday released a picture taken from the air of the massive flag, stitched in Kuwait, assembled in Lebanon and covering 65,000 square metres (645,600 square feet) “unfurled.”
Morocco is the current holder of the Guinness world record for the largest flag, at a mere 60,000 square metres, a Lebanese military spokesman said.
Now Lebanon’s bid for the title has been displayed at Rayak air base in the east of the country, in the presence of a representative of the “Guinness World Records” book.
After an excessive search, I was able to locate a photo of the flag at GulfNews.com:
A handout picture released on the Lebanese Army's official website shows an aerial view taken from a military helicopter of what the army said is the world's largest national flag photographed at the Rayak air base in the eastern Bekaa valley.Image Credit: AFP
Am i the only one who’s sick and tired of hearing lebanon/lebanese going for all those biggest hummous, tabbouli, falefel, flag, cross, bla bla bla records?
how about biggest 3a2el?
I don’t see any accomplishments in these records.
Actually, I think we were trying for “spending the longest time in traffic” but the Chinese beat us to it.

Can it fly?????
Well, it did fly on a plane from Kuwait to Beirut. But other than that, I highly doubt it. It will probably end up in some cardboard box in a secluded warehouse.
