Update: Did you see the flag yet? Don't worry, you have until December 31 to go and have a look. 

"Public viewing for the Qatari flag which entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest flag ever made is extended for another week, the organising committee has announced."- The Peninsula

---------------------------------------------------------------  

The ‘Flag of Gratitude and Loyalty’ campaign aims at making a Qatari flag to be the largest flag in the world.

According to Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim al-Sulaiti, general manager of Katara Cultural Village, around 90% of of work on the Qatari flag is complete. 

A meeting was held on Friday and was attended by Dr al-Sulaiti, Muqim bin Rashid al-Khayarin, executive chairman of the campaign, and Talal Omar, Guinness World Records regional director for the Middle East and North Africa. 

As big as 19 football fields, the flag was revelead on December 16, 2013 - two days before Qatar's National Day. 

It has a total area of 101,978sqm and weighs 9.8 tonnes. It was laid on an area supported by 5,000 bags of soil weighing 8 tonnes and bearing the same colour of the flag.

The Qatari flag broke the previous record of 79,000sqm set by Romania in May this year.

thank you dear galinda. Because in this world, life is too short to put so much time on hate, war and other conflicts.

@berdj camaro if you really cared about your country and the people in it... you should hate the Assad family... just ask the people of Hama about hafiz. Do yourself a favor and clean the fungus from your eyes and start using it. Ignorance wont get you far.

@berdj camaro hes a president ... hes supposed to be elected. So why would his son take over? That alone is corruption. Its not a kingdom. And keep replying, I am having fun annoying you. Maybe if you spent time worshiping the real God rather than a mass murderer you'd understand that. But you're blind... blind and ignorant.

I acknowledged your "liking" and in return, I did the same to you because we both agreed that it's a FACT :)

I dont care who tat dumb person is....but a humble advice to him/her is...If you know you are so dumb, then you should be elsewhere.

By gerarra• 17 Dec 2013 11:21

@Rizks: you have any idea who that person is? :p

By gerarra• 17 Dec 2013 11:18

@berdj Camaro: I just came back from sewage. Now I will initiate peace offering to you. Do you mind shaking my hand as a sign of acceptance? (note: I washed my hands thoroughly with soap & clean water, not sewage water)

@motez1 just ignore him, don't waste your precious time with someone like him who is very uneducated. just pray for him because he needs a lot of guidance. He was not given the privilege of enjoying what this country has to offer, and by that, he doesn't know how to look at the bright side.

By motez1• 17 Dec 2013 09:19

@berdj Camaro Bashar is alawi not a Muslim. A drop of Muslim blood is more valuable than the Ka'aba. So tell the giraffe bashar to stop killing his own people and pointing fingers at someone else. Him and his father enslaved his people to the point of rebellion and now that they dont want him... he kills them. WOO HOO JUSTICE!!!!!!

By motez1• 17 Dec 2013 09:16

@berdj Camaro No one asked for my opinion? No one asked for yours. If you have a problem with Qatar you can 1. Get the F out of Qatar and 2. stop going to QATARliving posting. Go tattoo a 13 page post on bashars long neck.

this Berdj Camaro has so much hatred in his heart... have you ever been loved? or did you grow up with so much misery? or maybe you have been bullied so much in your childhood?

By BOXBE16DOBARA• 16 Dec 2013 14:18

Dont call him a muslim/...a person who kills another human being is as if he has killed the whole humanity

@berdj Camaro LOLOLOL qatar supports terrorism?!?!... and you're syrian? LOLOLOLOL yeah I forgot Assad is such a peaceful person! I am not Qatar nor am I obligated to defend this country but I can assure you that I've been to many countries and this country treated me better than most. I agree what you said about Islam and how everyone., including Qatari's, need to follow the right path. But sitting here trying to bash on them when they're trying to show some pride on their national day is just immature and uncalled for. You want change? Then stop expecting others to change and start making a difference on your own. Actions speak louder than anonymous qatar living posts.

Berdj...did u read the holy quran with understanding..and what does it talk about peace and calm...where is peace and calm in ur comments..was our rasool like this the way u are...answer me now

Mr. Shoe Box: allow me to tell you that you know nothing about Islam and you are far away from it...then tell me about islam...but please i dont want to know from u who dont know the meaning of islam which means peace...No peace in ur comments..islam does not tell to hate or abuse...but ur comment has all masala...hate and abuse

Berdj Camaro I am sure you are far behind times. First of all, my country is a victim of terrorism and has faced more terrorism than any country in the world. Just go back to your country and ask your government which country trained your air force people to fly jet fighters in the late 60's. Your parents hadn't even thought about you then!

Berdj Camaro: Qatar does not support terrorism in any way. In my country and in others they have done much for reducing the sufferings of the poor. In my city there is a hospital for skin diseases which is being supported by the Qatari government. Treatment is almost free.
