Saudis Roll Out Lavish Welcome for President Trump in Riyadh

The Saudi Crown Prince showcases tradition and opulence during President Trump's official visit.


During his first day in Saudi Arabia, President Trump received a grand welcome from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reminiscent of his luxurious hometown.

In an extravagant display of hospitality, President Trump arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday, greeted personally by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reflecting the strong ties between the U.S. and Saudi royalty. Covered in a glamorous lavender carpet, the Saudi Royal Court exuded luxury; its vast halls adorned with crystal chandeliers and polished marble were reminiscent of the president's Mar-a-Lago estate.

This visit marked the beginning of a four-day swing through the Middle East, and arrangements for Trump's arrival were nothing short of spectacular. His Air Force One was escorted by three F-15 jets, while the presidential limousine was escorted to the Royal Court with a flourish — Arabian horse riders and music heightened the extravagant atmosphere. An honor guard stood in esteem as Trump made his entrance alongside Prince Mohammed, both looking proud and jovial.

Sharing the royal office with the crown prince, Trump remarked, “I really believe we like each other a lot,” emphasizing the bond and mutual respect forged between his family and the Saudi rulers. As he explored the Royal Court, Trump's admiration for the lavish golden decor was palpable, from gilt moldings to the lavish blue velvet chairs, demonstrating the luxurious tastes appreciated by both leaders.
