The bodies of the two Ukranians were discovered by some Bedouin wandering in the area, who reported the fatal accident to the police authorities. The car that they were driving was also recovered.

It is being speculated that the two succumbed to heat exhaustion while trying to make their way back to the nearest inhabited area.

A search and rescue team of the RAK Police Air Wing brought back the two bodies to Saqr Hospital. The bodies have been shifted to the morgue.

An intensive investigation is in progress to ascertain the real cause of the tragedy.
