First Day at British Orchard

Monday, September 09, 2013 No comments

Today morning was a memorable day for my lovely son Laith. I took a day off to enjoy this special milestone in our lives.

Laith has joined the Kinder Garden class at the British Orchard Nursery, the most luxurious nursery not only in Dubai, but also in UAE.

This nursery accredits the UK curriculum and follows the best standards of the educational methods. I have witnessed this today and would like to share some photos with you.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (جامع الشيخ زايد الكبير)

Sunday, March 17, 2013 No comments

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It was initiated by the late President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and his final resting place is located on the grounds. The mosque is the key place of worship for Friday gathering and Eid prayers.

We (my father & I) had al Juma'a prayer on 15th March 2013 there and the speach (Al khutba) was instersting, it talked about the parenting and the benefits that come out from inculating good qualities in your children.

"The mosque is large enough to accommodate over 40,000 worshipers. The main prayer hall can accommodate over 7,000 worshipers. There are two smaller prayer halls, with a 1,500-capacity each, one of which is the female prayer hall" [1].

Yesterday (Sun, 10 March 2013) was one of the most entertaining days I have ever had in my life. It was my first trial to a water park! I played all the water games there including the "Leap of Faith" :-)

The weather was awesome, cloudy and fantastic... I had so much fun with my friends :-)

Yawwwwwwww...

I was really afraid, look at my freaky face in the "Leap of Faith" slide ;-)

I'll attach it to my CV and start searching for a job, hehe... :-|

All great achievements require time...

I strongly believe that the achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.

If my mind can conceive it, My heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it!

Take a look at my latest achievements at National Bonds...

My lovely son "Laith"

Finally... It's raining!

Monday, December 17, 2012 Dubai, raining, weather No comments

I woke up this morning to find something I don't usually see. Thestory started when I left my home to the parking and unexpectedly found somepeople, with heavy jackets, were running around me...

At the commencement, I thought people had changed their lifestyles and start playing their morning exercises; I tilted my head to find some lakes were built up across my vision; I thought Dubai municipality had done something new to our area. I leveraged my vision up to the sky and OMG, an eye-catching and brains-taken weather!

I joined the crowd, without a permission, to enjoy this magnificent atmosphere.

Burj Al-Arab is the most famous and luxury place in Dubai; it stands on an artificial island of 280 m (920 ft) from Jumeirah beach and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The iconic skyscraper consists of 27 floors, and I have been invited today to join the IDC-Canon conference to announce the canon Management Printing Services (MPS) and its new cost affecting model.

The visit was held on Tuesday December 11, 2012 at 8:30 AM. I will leave you now with the amazing picture I took from my DSLR Canon camera... Below images were taken by my DSLR Canon camera from inside and outside the hotel.
