The US President will stay at the King David Hotel, a popular choice for world leaders when they visit Israel. In preparation for the visit, two buses loaded with heavy equipment and weapons will be parked in front of the hotel, in case of any bomb-laden vehicles plotting an attack. Photo: Shutterstock. |

The hotel's presidential suite costs about $5,700 with a separate air conditioning system and the ability to resist bombs and toxic gases. The US side is still not assured about this, they brought their own bulletproof glass and installed it in the room's windows. Photo: Daily Mail. |

A security operation has been underway at the King David Hotel for weeks to ensure the safety of the US president and his entourage of about 1,000 people. The US Secret Service will be undercover and on surveillance duty throughout the hotel. Photo of the hotel lobby. Photo: Daily Mail. |

Balloons containing infrared cameras will be released to float above the building, while bomb-detecting robots will lurk in the sewers. Mr. Trump's room will be transformed into a "mini White House", if the hotel is attacked and explodes, the room will remain completely intact. Photo: Daily Mail. |
