The two-day trip to the kingdom will feature visits from an array of peculiar figures such as Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who the Associated Press notes has been indicted for war crimes. Fox News host Bret Baier is also expected to deliver a speech, while American country singer Toby Keith will perform a male-only concert in Riyadh, the nation’s capital. The Saudis have also prepared a countdown clock for Trump’s meetings on Saturday on a website that was launched to promote the events.

“United under a single vision – Together We Prevail – this highly anticipated event, the first of its kind in history, will renew our mutual commitment to global security and further strengthen already deep business, cultural and political ties,” the website says.

Perhaps the most important event is the Arab-Islamic-U.S. summit, according to the AP. It will feature a feast with the president at a banquet as the two nations look to “forge a new partnership” to fight against extremism, the king said earlier this week according to the AP.

Simon Henderson, director of the Gulf and Energy Policy Program at the Washington Institute, said that the kingdom is ecstatic that Trump about the visit. “Saudi Arabia is delighted at being the No. 1 (stop for Trump’s visit), delighted by the re-emergence of a strong diplomatic relationship with the United States and delighted by the opportunity to show off Saudi leadership of the Arab and the Muslim world by getting everybody to turn up in Riyadh for multiple, overlapping summits.”
