CAIRO (AP) — Saudi King Abdullah arrived on a brief visit to Egypt on Friday, his first since the 2011 uprising, to show support for the newly elected President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.

Egypt state TV showed his plane landing at Cairo International Airport late at night where el-Sissi received the ailing monarch upon his arrival from Morocco, where he spent time for medical rehabilitation. TV cameras showed the king crouched over a cane, greeting Egyptian officials aboard his plane after a nearly hour-long meeting with el-Sissi. The king did not leave the airplane.
