US President Donald Trump received a grand welcome in Abu Dhabi on Thurday, as part of his state visit to the UAE.

The motorcade was met with a traditional display featuring a ceremonial guard on horseback, camel riders and Emirati folk performances. Children lined the route waving UAE and US flags, and a 21-gun salute was fired.

Among those attending were astronauts, space engineers, and top students from UAE space camps, reflecting the country's growing commitment to science and innovation.

Across the UAE capital, US flags and welcome banners were on full display to mark the historic visit.
