Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump to visit Jaisalmer tomorrow
Jaipur, May 30
Tiffany Trump, the younger daughter of US President Donald Trump, is scheduled to arrive in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer on Sunday along with her husband Michael Boulos, aboard a chartered flight.
The high-profile private visit has prompted extensive security arrangements across the desert city, with authorities maintaining heightened vigilance given Jaisalmer's proximity to the India-Pakistan border.
The couple is expected to stay at the luxury Suryagarh Hotel during their visit.
During her stay, Tiffany Trump is scheduled to explore some of Jaisalmer's iconic heritage landmarks, including the world-famous Sonar Fort (Jaisalmer Fort), Patwon Ki Haveli, and Gadisar Lake.
She is expected to leave from Jaisalmer on Monday.
Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos began their India visit in New Delhi.
On Friday, the couple visited the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple, where Tiffany shared photographs of the temple's architecture and grandeur on social media platform X.
On Saturday, the couple travelled to Agra and visited the Taj Mahal, where they posed for photographs at the UNESCO World Heritage monument.
The Jaisalmer district administration and police have ramped up security measures in view of the visit.
Since Jaisalmer is a sensitive border district, authorities are closely monitoring security arrangements at tourist sites and locations connected with the visit.
Sources said intelligence agencies are also coordinating with local authorities, while preparations for traffic regulation and route management are underway to ensure smooth movement.
The visit has generated considerable excitement among stakeholders in Jaisalmer's tourism industry, including hotel operators and tour guides.
Many in the tourism sector believe that the visit of a member of the Trump family could further strengthen Jaisalmer's international visibility and boost interest among foreign travellers.
This is not the first visit by a member of the Trump family to Jaisalmer.
In November 2018, Jared Kushner, husband of Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and the then Senior Advisor to the White House, visited the city to attend a high-profile wedding at Suryagarh Hotel.
During that visit, Rajasthan Police and the US security personnel coordinated extensive security arrangements around the venue.

Finally, some positive tourism news from Rajasthan! After COVID, our heritage sites need all the exposure they can get. If this brings more foreign tourists, then it's worth the security arrangements. But I do wonder why Trump's daughter keeps coming here - must be the beauty of our desert ❤️
Honestly, with all the problems in our country - inflation, unemployment, farmers' issues - and we're rolling out red carpets for foreign VIPs who stay for 24 hours? Waste of taxpayer money. Let's focus on our own people first. But I'm sure the hotel owners are happy. 🙄
As an American who loves India, I'm thrilled Tiffany is exploring your rich culture! Jaisalmer is breathtaking, and she'll love the havelis and local food. Hope she tries some authentic Rajasthani dal baati churma 🇮🇳❤️
The security in Jaisalmer is already tight because of Pak border, but adding more for a private tourist? Seems overkill. But if it boosts tourism and creates jobs for locals, then maybe it's okay. Just hope the road closures don't disrupt daily life too much. चलो, at least she's visiting during good weather!
Remember when Jared Kushner came for a wedding? The Paparazzi frenzy was insane. Now it's Tiffany's turn. Jaisalmer is photogenic enough to make anyone look good on Instagram. Hope she posts lots of pictures - our heritage deserves global recognition! 📸✨
