Mrs May touches down and is greeted by the Governor of Riyadh, Faisal bin Bander Al Saud, who welcomed her to Saudi Arabia and escorted her to meet with King Salman
Mrs May's trip to Saudi Arabia was for talks with the king and his heir Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the kingdom-led war in Yemen.
During the British prime minister's trip, she was expected to ask Crown Prince Mohammed to allow humanitarian aid through Yemen's port of Hodeida, which is held by the Shiite rebels being targeted in the Saudi-led war.
Ahead of her meeting with king Salman, she told reporters: ‘I am very concerned about the humanitarian crisis that has developed in Yemen, particularly most recently.
‘That is why one strong message I will be giving to Saudi Arabia is that we want to see Hodeida port opened for humanitarian and commercial access, that is important. The international community is concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia supports Yemen’s internationally recognised government against Iran-backed Houthi rebels, and faces intense condemnation over its bombing and military action.
Earlier this month the Saudi-led coalition mounted a sea and air blockade in an effort to prevent supplies reaching Houthi rebels - but has since lifted some of the restrictions.
In Iraq, Mrs May addressed some of the 600 British troops helping train security forces in the country before holding a one-on-one meeting with Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi.
She said: 'Obviously we're working together to defeat Daesh and my visit comes at a critical moment as we see the Caliphate collapsing with the fall of Mosul and Raqqa.
'We want to ensure that Iraq can in the future provide that strong, stable and unified state that can provide the security, the jobs and opportunities that all Iraqis want and deserve.'
She added: 'We have seen significant military success against Daesh, but we must recognise that the threat remains. And we must obviously deal with the issue of potentially people from Daesh dispersing elsewhere.'
The prime minister was also expected to visit Amman and Jordan.
