Cairo — Social media users in Egypt are enthusiastically sharing a special photoshoot by a young Egyptian man with his 80-year-old grandmother.

The photos posted on Facebook by young man from the Upper Egypt governorate of Minya took the Internet by storm.

For decades after being at home, she is venturing out through my lens, Abdullah Mohammad, the photographer assigned by the young man for the shoot, told Egyptian newspaper Youm7.

“It was the best day of my life,” the photographer said, adding he will never forget the moments he spent filming them.

Mohammad said that the young man had contacted him and said to be prepared for an unusual photo session.

The grandmother was full of joy when they both posed together in a rare show of a special grandparent-grandchild bond, Mohammad added.

The grandmother can be seen wearing a crown of flowers and pretending to be taking a selfie with her grandson. Other photos show them playing with balloons and cards and generally enjoying a fun day out. — Al Arabiya English
