Erdogan arrives in the Emirates as part of a tour that includes Egypt. Erdogan is expected to meet with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Erdogan's visit tomorrow will be his first visit to Egypt since Ankara and Cairo raised the level of their relations by appointing two ambassadors last year. Erdogan said in a speech broadcast on Turkish television yesterday, Monday, that the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip will top the agenda of his talks with his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
