Ali Hussain Mushaima, publisher

Ali Hussain Mushaima founded Arab World Tours in 1994 and, along with editor Archie D'Cruz, launched the print edition of the Visitor's Complete Guide to Bahrain in 1996. The guide has evolved tremendously in that time, growing from 64 pages in that first year to 208 pages today.

The second country in the Visitor's Complete Guide series will be launched shortly when the guide to Yemen is released later this year. Yemen remains one of Ali's favourite foreign destinations, one he often visits when taking tourists on adventure and camping trips to that country.

Ali also provides consultancy to travel agencies in Bahrain and Yemen, and has started delivering cultural presentations to diplomats.

He is currently working on a paper on how to develop tourism in Yemen, which will be presented to the government when the Visitor's Complete Guide to Yemen is released.
