Kosen, of Turkey, is the tallest man in the world at 8 feet 3 inches tall. He's one of only 10 confirmed cases in history of someone growing 8 feet or taller.

Amge, of India, is the shortest living woman in the world at just above 2 feet tall, which is smaller than the average 2-year-old.

Both Kosen and Amge earned their titles in 2011 from the Guinness World Records.

Amge's small stature is the result of achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism that caused her growth to stop at her present height.

Kosen's size is because of a tumor that caused him to develop a medical condition called pituitary gigantism.

His shocking growth spurt didn't come until he was 10 years old.

The pair first met in 2018 through an invitation by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture and Tourism to visit various historic sites.

In Egypt, they toured the sites before attending a conference at the Fairmont Nile City Hotel in Cairo.
