King Salman, the custodian of Islam's holiest sites, became ruler of the world's top oil exporter in 2015 after spending more than 2-1/2 years as the crown prince and deputy premier.
The king, 88, was last admitted to hospital in May 2022 for a colonoscopy and medical tests.
He underwent gallbladder surgery in 2020.
