Guinness World Records (GWR) has highlighted the record-breaking achievements of the Arab world, including Bahrain, as it celebrates 70 years of chronicling the extraordinary across the globe.
Created in 1955, when its founder Sir Hugh Beaver sought to settle a hunting dispute about the fastest game bird in Europe, GWR has since then featured more than 65,000 awesome records in its database, including 1,600 from the Arab region.
Bahrain has also found its place in the document with a few remarkable feats, including the fastest relay-swim around the island and the most hearing tests carried out in 12 hours.
