Forty minutes before he was to reach Dubai, Shahzad Khan called his family in Pakistan and told them he was on his way back to the emirate after spending two days in Oman. He said he would call them again once he got to his accommodation - but he never made it.
Khan was one of the two Pakistanis who died in the tourist bus accident on Thursday. The other man was identified as Shafiq Ahmed, son of Muhammed Ahmed, an officer at the Pakistani mission in Dubai told Khaleej Times.
Both victims had travelled to Oman on a visa run.
