- The Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed Dubai's entry as the new longest wooden chopsticks in the world.
Dubai: It is official. Dubai now holds the world record for longest wooden chopsticks.
The Guinness Book of World Records sent a certificate to Dubai's Marco Polo Hotel confirming the hotel's entry as the new longest wooden chopsticks in the world, Marco Polo Hotel said in a statement on Wednesday.
At 22.5 feet long, the pair of chopsticks in Dubai beat the record of China's Shenyang Province.
Marco Polo Hotel Vice President Sunil Marya said it took the hotel staff a month to prepare their record-breaking pair of chopsticks.
The hotel apparently made two pairs to be sure that the final entry measured up to everyone's expectations.
"It is really a tremendous feeling having this certificate and being in the book of world records, especially from Guinness, for the first time. I can say that all of our team's effort has paid off well," Marya said.
