The opulent presidential palace, a symbol of the UAE's rich heritage and visionary leadership, hosted an elaborate ceremony featuring a 21-gun salute, ceremonial honour guards on horseback, and traditional Emirati folk performances. Children waving American and Emirati flags lined the ceremonial route as Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan personally escorted the American president.

President Donald Trump concluded his historic UAE tour with a symbolic visit to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, a groundbreaking interfaith complex that embodies the spirit of religious tolerance and coexistence. The landmark, which houses the Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque, St. Francis Church, and Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue under one campus, represents a physical manifestation of the Abraham Accords peace agreements that Trump's administration brokered in 2020. During his visit, the president explored the three houses of worship and the Forum, a shared space designed for dialogue, learning, and connection between diverse faith communities. The Abrahamic Family House serves as both a place for worship and a center for education, offering programs developed with scholars and interfaith leaders from around the world. As a powerful symbol of the UAE's commitment to religious freedom and mutual understanding, the complex welcomes visitors to connect, explore, and reflect on humanity's common values while celebrating the unique traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
