>It’s called “Ardah” and it’s one of the folkloric/traditional dances in Saudi Arabia that’s only perfomed by men.

It was originated in Najd region -which is currently a part Saudi Arabia. In the past, tribes used to perform it before going to wars in central Najd, but now it’s perfomed in celebrations, and national and cultural events. And now there are various types of Ardah all across the Arabian peninsula.
