Now that's what i call Paradise on Earth.

It's a very beautiful photo indeed. When I see it I want to take a swim in not only the swimming pool but the blue ocean too! The Arabian Peninsula is in general famous for its beautiful and long coastline, beaches, coral reefs etc.

I appreciate your talk but I kindly ask you to continue it in another thread as otherwise this thread will turn into a chit-chat thread which is not its purpose. You are very welcome to continue the discussion in the "Arabic Coffee thread" or elsewhere for instance if you do not mind.

Thanks.

Yeah, I saw a number of them right now.

I don't know if you have seen this before, but the sunken ancient Egyptian city of Heracleion (Thonis) might interest you. It was an important trading port before Alexandria, the construction of which incidentally, also led to the eventual abandonment of Memphis.

Ramadan is going well, it's usually the thirst that annoys me the most, even though I drink a lot of ice-cold water before Fajr.

What about you buddy?

yeah i have just briefly read about that Sunken Egyptian City sometime back but not in details....but thanks for reminding me and passing the Link ...would read it definately in some free time....

gosh the Egyptian Civilization and the inventions they made then are so vast and interesting that the more you read about them the more you fall in love with it.....i have read their Construction technology...the materials they used...the plans and layout....the symbolic significance of seals,sculptures,caves art,graves and Jewellery they used to have etc....they were trend setters...really!!!

as for Ramadan,going great except for the same thirst part too hot here gosh.....

sorry if i couldnt or cant reply quick...im currently busy in a friend's project....helping her in couple of things and then due to Ramadan the routine has changed alot!

sorry @al-Hasani this will be the last reply here haha wont do the blunder again....its Ramadan bear with it! Patience Patience dude!
