Dubai: Pakistani expatriate Bashir Ahmad Khan, now 74, is especially sentimental about this Ramadan. As a young man in his 30s, he had first come to the UAE in the Ramadan of 1972, less than a year after the country was founded. Now, in the ‘Year of the 50th’ anniversary of the UAE, Bashir is returning home for good in a week’s time, right after completing his last Ramadan here.
Bashir lived with his wife in the UAE from 1987 till 2015 and is now looking forward to re-joining his family back home. He has three grown-up children two sons and a daughter.
