Saudi Women Who Made It Into The Guinness World Records

Home-grown and 'Officially Amazing', these women are making history.

Largest Memory Lesson
This is a group of women who won’t forget where they put their house keys any time soon. Dar Al-Hekma University hosted Dr. Manahel Thabet, who gave a memory lesson to a group of 1,307 female students in Jeddah. The women broke the record in Septmber 2015, with the lesson taking just over 30 minutes under the supervision of the World Memory Sports Council.

Fastest Time To Stack 20 Large LEGO Bricks (For A Team Of Two)
Leen Uraijah and her brother Mohammed have a unique skill – they stack LEGOs faster than you can blink. The sibling duo stacked 20 large LEGO bricks in just over 17 seconds – that’s less than one second for each block. They broke the record in October 2015 in the UK and made their way into the book of world records. The only thing we remember about LEGOs is how painful it is to step on a stray block that landed on the carpet. Still, it’s an impressive feat.

Largest Human Breast Cancer Ribbon
December 2015 was a momentous day for Saudi women, as they voted and ran for municipal seats for the first time. But they were determined to make it even more special by forming the largest breast cancer ribbon. Participants went to Princess Noura University in Riyadh, where they work pink headscarves and formed a giant ribbon on the field. A total of 8,264 women took part in the record-breaking event, besting India’s previous record of 6,847.

Princess Reema Bint Bandar Al-Saud, who was the main sponsor of the event, spoke to Saudi Gazette about the women’s efforts: “We are the voice of the future, and if we take care of ourselves, there will be a bright future.”
