The UN special envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, will on Saturday visit Egypt as he kicks off a regional tour to prepare for peace talks on Syria dubbed Geneva 2, his spokesperson said.
Brahimi will meet Egypt's foreign minister Nabil Fahmy as well as the Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi, spokesperson Khawla Mattar said in Geneva on Friday.
The rest of his schedule is uncertain due to various governments being on holiday because of the main Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha, but Mattar said "the tour will cover several countries of the region".
This will include visits to Damascus and Tehran.
