Trump’s Middle East trip covered Qatar and Saudi Arabia
Before arriving in the UAE, Trump visited Qatar, where he toured the largest U.S. military base in the region. There, he announced a $42 billion arms deal. Qatar also controversially offered him a$400 million private plane.
In Saudi Arabia, Trump was welcomed with a six-fighter jet escort, showcasing the high-profile nature of his Middle East trip.
“What a beautiful city! I love it!” Trump told reporters after inspecting the performers at Qasr Al Watan, the UAE’s presidential palace.
In the UAE, Trump was greeted with the traditional Al-Ayyala dance, featuring women dramatically flipping their hair and men performing with drums and swords.
Additionally, UNESCO describes this art as a blend of poetry, music, and battle simulation.
The Al-Ayyala, a traditional performance, is commonly showcased at weddings and festive events in Oman and the UAE.
In contrast to some Middle Eastern countries like Iran, the UAE does not have laws requiring women to cover their hair. During Trump’s visit, Gulf states went to great lengths to impress him.
On Tuesday morning in Saudi Arabia, Air Force One was flanked by six fighter jets as Trump arrived.
The next day in Qatar, Trump was welcomed with a camel parade and a Cybertruck motorcade, alongside an escort of fighter planes.
According to the White House, the president secured over $1 trillion in economic investment commitments from Gulf countries during this trip.
