The visit comes as relations continue to improve between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
Before leaving Iraq, Abdul-Mahdi said his country was facing a major shift in its relationship with Riyadh.
A Saudi Arabian delegation visited Iraq earlier this month, when a new consulate in Baghdad was opened and $1 billion in loans for development projects in Iraq was announced.
