Administration officials said Friday that President Barack Obama’s visit to the Middle East will kick off with a stop in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday.

Then on the following Friday, Obama will travel "to Landstuhl (Germany) to visit our men and women in uniform injured in combat from Iraq and Afghanistan and also ... check in with some of the very important caregivers there — doctors, nurses and technicians — that work in that hospital," said Mark Lippert, deputy national security adviser and National Security Council chief of staff.

Earlier that day, Obama is scheduled to visit the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar, Germany.

On Saturday, the 65th anniversary of D-Day, Obama will give a speech at the American cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France, along with other heads of state, including British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Lippert said.
