Kuwait recently achieved another record in the Guinness World Records – largest bisht in the world, reports Annahar daily. The size of the bisht, which exceeded the previous record, was 17 x 16 meters.

Al-Baghli Exhibition for the Bishout Industry supervised the creation of the bisht that took 48 days.

Guinness-accredited arbitrator Kenzi Al-Dafrawi honored Riyad Al-Baghli – owner of Al-Baghli Exhibition – for breaking the previous record of 17 x 9 meters obtained by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A bisht is a long cloak traditionally worn over a thobe or kandura at special occasions or celebrations in Middle Eastern countries.

The garments are typically black, but also come in white and brown, and are made from a light, often sheer, material with gold trimming.

Traditionally, they are worn at times of celebration, for weddings, Eid and significant festivals. Historically, they were a winter garment, reserved for keeping the wearer warm on colder nights.
