From Wikipedia

Egypt's Islamic Cultural Center, including the Masjid Misr also known as the Grand Mosque, is a mosque, religious center, and architectural landmark located in the New Administrative Capital in Cairo Governorate, Egypt. The center covers an area of 467,000 square metres (5,030,000 sq ft), and can accommodate 137,000 worshippers.

At its completion, the cultural center received three international certificates from the Guinness World Records. They included the world's largest pulpit handcrafted from wood and standing at 16.6 metres (54 ft) high, and the chandelier won two titles as the world's largest with a diameter of 22 metres (72 ft), and the heaviest at a weight of 50 short tons (45 t).
