This is the pic that I took while in Riyadh, coming from the airport. In the far distance you can see the Kingdom Tower. It is one the most distinguished and modern landmark in Saudi Arabia.

Wishing all you people a very happy and prosperous new year 2007. With the onset of the new year, I have started work on updating my blogs. Both this (my photo blog) and my main blog. Also this year I will be releasing a new version of my editor NuvoPad and will also be making some new software available for download which will be some utility software for everyday life.

So wish me luck guys and have a great year!

Hey people, have you tried out NuvoPad lately? If not there's a good chance you are missing out on some huge improvements, and of course a cool editor. Remember, it's free to use as well. So what are you waiting for? Go to the website right away

more pics, have fun. This kinda thing happens if you got no drainage system for an entire city. Hope you enjoyed all the pics here. Please be sure to leave your comments here. Thanks.

more pics, seen in the background here is IKEA (the blue building).

Some more pics

Some pics of a typical scene here in Jeddah Saudi Arabia after a mild shower of rain ;)

With the Groom, or shall I say Man for the Day, Amin himself.

Some new photos here from Amin's wedding party. Here, I (yep, that's me in the traditional dress) am seen sitting with my colleagues at my friend and office colleague Amin's wedding party.

I am pleased to announce to you people that my editor (NuvoPad) has got it's own home on the net now. Also worth mentioning here is that NuvoPad is available on 2 of the most visited sites on the internet namely, Download.com and Softpedia.com
Make sure that you check it out.
For more information, please check the NuvoPad website or my blog. In case you require any help, get in touch with me on nuvopad.at.fiqbal.com (Please substitute .at. with @. This is to ensure the email address is not stolen).

Here is a view of the Al-Hamran Center on Tahliah Street in Jeddah

Hi, people I wasn't able to post new pictures since I haven't taken any at the moment. But pretty soon, I will be taking pictures and posting them here. I was (and still am) busy with the holy month of fasting, Ramadan. However, I have been updating my main blog: All Pumped Up!

NuvoPad has also got it's new home www.nuvopad.com and I will soon be uploading it's own website. It is already available for download from my site.

For those of you wondering on what NuvoPad actually is, it is an advanced word processor designed to replace your standard Notepad and also WordPad (which come with Windows). So download and check it out.

Here you can see a minaret (minaar) of the Holy Mosque at Madinah. This minaret is part of the new construction to the Prophet's mosque.

This photo shows the burial ground of the martyrs of the battle of ohud, even as pilgrims throng the site to pay their respects to the fighters of Allah. Also seen in the background is the Ohud Mountain.

Seen here is the mosque at the resting place of the martyrs of the battle of Ohud at Madinah, KSA. A place of great historic importance for Muslims and Islam

Seen here with my cousin

At the beach. Me and my nephew in the pic. Also seen in the background is the Jeddah Hilton

The Jeddah Westin Hotel can be seen here. A good look on the sea is the prime attraction for this hotel. I haven't been to it though. But you can't rule out anything at the moment! BTW, visit my main blog site All Pumped Up! for details and musings which I publish there. I have also made available for download an alpha version of NuvoPad (which is an advanced word processor). Also don't forget to post your comments!

A view of the Jeddah Hilton hotel near the beach. A great one since I been there a couple of times. The roof top restaurant is cool.

Hi everybody! Lot's been happening since I last posted here. Oh my! BTW, I have put up a blog called All Pumped Up! on my own domain. So my search for a stable blog is over. I will keep on updating this blog. But as the name suggests this will be only for photos. It will include interesting pics of other places also apart from holding my photos! See you on my blog for more news, my software and other news and my musings. For looking at my pics, you can always come here.
