Saudi authorities did not respond to a request for comment about Prince Mohammed's tour.

Saudi Arabia is a close ally of Egypt, and has provided Cairo with extensive financial support since Sisi came to power.

As portfolio investors pulled money from Egypt and the government faced rising commodity prices in knock-on effects at the start of the conflict in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia deposited $5 billion in Egypt's central bank.
