After a brief meeting in the airport's VIP lounge, Erdoğan and Sisi traveled together to the Presidential Complex.
Mounted guards escorted their vehicle to the protocol entrance, and a 21-gun salute accompanied the playing of national anthems as they took their places at the ceremony.
President el-Sisi then saluted the Honor Guard, and flags representing 16 historical Turkish states were displayed. Erdoğan and el-Sisi posed for photos with the flags of Türkiye and Egypt on the stairs, shaking hands before the press.
