The Saudi city of Yanbu is getting ready to break a world record for the largest floral carpet in the world.
Yousif Al-Hijaili, chairman of the organizing committees for the Seventh Flowers & Gardens Festival in Yanbu, said the festival would kick off on Feb. 24 and last until March 8.
The carpet, located along the Red Sea coastline, will boast more than two million flowers that will cover an astonishing area of 7,000 square meters.
He said the festival would exhibit natural and seasonal flowers and would provide gardening and agricultural tips.
Al-Hijaili said the number of visitors to the festival is increasing year after year thanks to new ideas and plans that are being constantly implemented by the festival’s organizers.
