In an emotionally charged reunion, two Egyptian sisters met for the first time after 30 years in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the help of the local police.

The younger sister persisted in her search for her older sibling, and with the assistance of Fujairah police, they were recently reunited after a prolonged separation.

Taking to Instagram, Fujairah police shared a video in which the sisters can be seen embracing one another, shedding tears of joy.

The journey of separation began 30 years ago when the older sister married a UAE citizen.

The younger sister and her parents resided in Egypt, but after the death of their father, they relocated to another city, where the mother passed away.
