World's largest carpet

Of course it has to be "world's largest" :-)
The Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, opening here in early 2007, will have the world's largest carpet, an official said on Saturday.

It's 5700 square meters and will use up 45 tonnes of wool and cotton - how would you like to take that outside for a good spring cleaning?

I really hope they allow (non-muslim) visitors to tour the mosque, as the do with the great mosque in Muscat, Oman.

Ladies had to wear a headscarf - which felt very hot in the midday sun for those of us not used to it! - but it was definitely worth it to see inside such an amazing building. Also nice that we got to see the main mosque which is truly stunning, not just the ladies' areas.
