Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — America’s first lady, Jill Biden, visited Al-Azhar Mosque, Friday, during her two-day visit to Egypt.

For his part, Al-Azhar Al-Sharif said, on Facebook, that “The President of Al-Azhar University, Dr. Salama Daoud, accompanied the American first lady, on a tour inside Al-Azhar Mosque.”

In a previous tweet, America’s first lady said: “Thank you for the warm welcome to Egypt, “Mother of the World”… Mrs. Intisar Amer (wife of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi).

Earlier on Friday, Intisar Al-Sisi welcomed the Biden generation with its arrival in Egypt.

Intisar Al-Sisi published pictures of her reception of Jill Biden on Facebook, commenting: “Ms. Jill Biden, the first American lady, is a dear Alex Reed of Egypt, and as I welcome her to her second country, Egypt, I look forward to the visit being a new step towards strengthening the Egyptian-American friendship.” And I wish her the best of times in Umm Al-Dunya.”
