ABU DHABI: A group of 25 bikers belonging to Cross Route Club in Pakistan visited the Embassy of Pakistan.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Faisal Niaz Tirmizi hosted a lunch in the honour of the bikers, who started their journey from Lahore on January 6 this year and are on their way to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah.
The group reached UAE from Iran and their ride will see them going to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq and Iran before returning to Pakistan after covering a distance of 14,000 kilometres.
Mukarram Tareen, leader of the group, said that passing through brotherly Islamic countries would promote a positive image of Pakistan, its rich cultural heritage, pristine natural beauty and warm hospitality of Pakistani people.
Ambassador Tirmizi in his remarks appreciated the initiative of the bikers for promotion of Pakistan in various countries and stated that such tours should be organised more frequently to and from Pakistan.
The ceremony concluded with Mukarram Tareen planting a tree at the Embassy of Pakistan.
