Tensions over the tribunal have grown steadily, raising fears of sectarian violence and the collapse of Lebanon's national unity government in which Hezbollah has two ministers.
Mubarak and Hariri, the Sunni premier, held discussions "in light of Egypt's concern with Lebanon's stability," MENA reported.
Hariri also met with Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit, who earlier this month stressed his country's support for the UN tribunal after a visit to Saudi Arabia.
"The position of Egypt and Saudi Arabia is clear: attempts to ensure the failure of the tribunal's work will not succeed," said foreign ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki.
There are fears that an indictment of Hezbollah members may lead to a Sunni-Shiite conflict similar to one that brought the country close to another civil war in May 2008.
