Saudi Arabia’s King Salman arrived in Istanbul on April 13 with his private jet to attend the 13th Islamic Summit of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), greeted by around 100 luxury cars on the apron of Istanbul Atatürk Airport.

The king was welcomed by Istanbul Governor Vasip Şahin, Turkish Development Minister Cevdet Yılmaz and a number of other top officials.

Salman reportedly disembarked from the jet on a moving staircase and elevator.

Intense security measures are being taken throughout the Saudi monarch’s visit and a police helicopter supported the measures from above.

After arriving, Salman later set out with the escort of luxury cars for Çırağan Palace, where he is staying throughout his visit.
