Assalam-u-alaikum,

On Thursday 21 Aug 2008, I arrived at Dammam, Saudia Arabia. Here I have joined Arabic Computer Systems (ACS), which is the contractor for deployment of High Performance Computing (HPC) Clusters, at Saudi ARAMCO, in Zahran / Dahran. Below are a few pictures you may like to see. I have arranged the pictures in the order of: "latest" first.

People have often asked me, what exactly life is in Saudia and whether they should come to Saudia for work? For those, they following articles may be helpful in understanding.
