Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, who is currently on a visit to Saudi Arabia, met with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz on Tuesday.

According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the meeting -- which was also attended by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman -- took place in the kingdom’s planned city of Neom.

At the meeting, the two sides discussed bilateral relations and regional developments.

Located in the kingdom’s northwest, Neom -- which was built specifically for tourism -- overlooks the Red Sea and Jordan’s Gulf of Aqaba.

Al-Sisi arrived to the kingdom for an unannounced visit earlier Tuesday.
