Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos, visited the historic Sonar Fort in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, on May 31, 2026 [1].
The private tour by the daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump highlights a continued interest in Indian cultural heritage and high-profile tourism in the region.
The couple arrived at the Jaisalmer Civil Airport from Delhi via a special aircraft [2]. Their visit to the fort, also known as Jaisalmer Fort, was the latest stop in a broader exploration of the country's landmarks. Earlier in their trip, the couple visited the Akshardham Temple, and the Taj Mahal [3].
Trump shared her impressions of the trip on social media, describing the Taj Mahal as "the stunning Taj Mahal" [4]. The visit to Jaisalmer involved exploring the city's historic architecture and the unique yellow sandstone structures of the Sonar Fort [1].
Local authorities said that security was heightened to accommodate the visit [2]. The trip was described as a private tourism effort to explore various cultural landmarks across India [3, 5].
“The stunning Taj Mahal”
The visit of a U.S. president's family member to key cultural sites like the Sonar Fort and Taj Mahal serves as a form of soft diplomacy. While the trip is private, the visibility of such visits often underscores the cultural and strategic ties between the United States and India.
