Saudis on Twitter were utterly infatuated with Trump this week... Ivanka Trump, that is.

President Donald Trump landed in the Saudi capital city of Riyadh on Saturday, on the first leg of his first foreign tour as US president, before arriving to Israel on Monday.

Accompanying him were his eldest daughter Ivanka and his wife Melania.

Being the daughter of president of the United States - along with being undeniably attractive - meant Ivanka was the centre of attention as the men around her were swooned by her beauty.

And the internet made sure she knew it.

People were quick to notice the way Saudi officials softened their demeanour around Ivanka:

Translation:
- Hey, does your dad trade with weapons?
- No, why?
- Because you're like a rocket ❤️

A video showing a man claim he had built a mosque for Ivanka - so she could go to heaven - also went viral...

And it wasn't just Saudis who were bowled over by Ivanka and Melania's beauty.

Translation: They may have a lot of money, but my heart is big

Above all - and with all of the humour around - there were some who wanted to make a serious point and highlight the double standards of Ivanka's rhetoric on women's rights while in Saudi Arabia.
