The Pakistan-born British national Bushra Farooqui died while hiking near the UAE-Oman border after losing her way.
Friends called her adventurous and daring.
Bushra Farooqui was said to have died from heat and dehydration after she lost her way while hiking on the Wadi Al Sameenah mountain in Mahda province in Oman.
Eleven of her friends, including a child were rescued by the Royal Oman Police after one of the hikers called the police for help.
Reportedly, her brother and sister are in the UAE awaiting release of Bushra's body by the Al Buraimi police.
Bushra was said to be an experienced hiker who had also trekked to Mount Everest base camp.
In her 40s, she was also known to be a humanitarian who had funded a school at the remote Basha Valley in Baltistan in Pakistan.
Named the Inspire Initiative, the school currently houses 180 students aged between four and 14.
Such was her love for trekking that during an interview with a Pakistani newspaper in June this year, she had said, "The motive behind running a primary school in this beautiful mountainous region is the collective love of mountains, trekking and education."
