President of the United States Donald Trump, along with King of Saudi Arabia Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, performed a traditional sword arda dance during an official ceremony to mark the visit of the American president to the country.

This is written by the television channel Al Arabiya, which published a video.

It is noted that American diplomats also participated in the dances, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Chief Strategist of the White House Steve Bannon.

Arda begins with a repetition of a poetic line for a drumbeat.

After that, the dancers lift swords into the air, which expresses their joy, pride and devotion to the king.

Saudi arda was often associated with military achievements, but it is currently held during special occasions and celebrations and has become widespread in all provinces of Saudi Arabia.

As reported by the "Observer", the first lady of the USA Melania Trump, as well as the daughter of Trump Ivanka, refused headdresses in Saudi Arabia.
