Coming home was Ms Francesca Khor, who was trying to locate her sister in the crowd.
When she finally caught sight of her, she raised her hands in a wave before the pair reunited in a tight hug. Ms Khor told CNA that she had gone to Dubai on Feb 25 for a business trip.
Recounting her journey from Dubai to Muscat, Ms Khor said: “I’ve never been on a bus for that long – 10 to 12 hours.
“The logistics were very good. It was an all-hands-on-deck situation. There were so many people helping us.”
She added that although the missile attacks initially came as a shock, life continued relatively normally.
“It was precautionary when the alerts came on, but we were also quickly notified when everything was clear. So we were not fearing for our lives.”
