A spokeswoman did not give the gender of the victim.
She said: "The death is being treated as suspicious. Local police are investigating and we are informing the family at the moment."
In a statement, Police Colonel Abdul-Aziz al-Sulaiman said the Briton had a dispute with an Egyptian man, who was taken to hospital with hand injuries.
