Farasan Islands: A dream realized

About 7 years ago, when my colleague Dr Mazhar & i was sharing room, one day i noticed a mobile recharge coupon from Mobily (Telecom operator)whose SIM mazhar bhai was using on floor. when i pick it up in my hands, i saw it was a 10 SAR recharge coupon, on the back of the card, there was a beautiful beach with caption "Farasan Islands". i made intention to visit this place immediately, it took around seven years for me to visit this marvelous place.

My visit is indebted to my friends Dr Hifzur Rehman, who arranged all tickets for us and for my Car, as there is no taxi facility in Farasan Island, visitors have to book his car also and extended his help & support when we reached there; Dr Suhail  who provided lodging in his home & Dr Bilal who took initiatives and provided moral support for this out of season visit.


I am also extremely thankful to my friends Dr Khurram Naim Shamsi and Dr Abdul Muqtadir who shared crest and trough of our long diverse journey, without their company I could never realize my dream.
