US President Donald Trump paid a landmark visit to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi on his visit to the Gulf, thanking the UAE for its bold vision to foster interfaith harmony and world tolerance. The cultural and spiritual complex featuring a mosque, a church, and the nation’s first purpose-built synagogue is an icon of peaceful coexistence in a region that has historically been plagued by religious strife.
Led by UAE leaders and religious leaders, President Trump visited every house of worship, having conversations on diplomacy by faith and the role of shared values in international leadership. He praised the complex as “a model of mutual respect the world urgently needs,” affirming the deepening US-UAE relations.
The Abrahamic Family House was opened in 2023 as an answer to the Document on Human Fraternity signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar. It has since become a regional center for dialogue, education, and harmony between the three Abrahamic faiths—Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
Trump’s visit underscores the UAE’s growing position in soft diplomacy, leveraging culture and religion as bridges to deeper global partnerships. As international tensions boil, the Abrahamic Family House is a shining example of hope—one where shared heritage works to bridge understanding and not division.
