The 15,000-kilometre road trip through 12 countries began at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) on May 23 and will officially end at the Bahrain Embassy in the UK, on Friday. In Switzerland, Mr Mushaima met Ticino Turismo (tourism board) representative Michel Cavadini to discuss joint activities aimed at promoting Bahrain in Switzerland and vice versa. Mr Mushaima presented Mr Cavadini with a copy of his publication, From Dilmun to Dublin and Beyond and a Visitor's Complete Guide to Bahrain. The aim of the trip is to spread friendship, while promoting Bahrain's culture, civilisation and the BIC. Mr Mushaima is being joined by various writers and photographers on different legs of the trip. The team has already travelled from Bahrain through Saudi Arabia to Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Macedonia and Switzerland. He will stay in France for three days before heading to London for the official closing reception. However, the friendship tour will not end in London but continue to Ireland and Scotland.
