Yesterday, the prince took part in the annual Janadriyah Festival, a celebration of Saudi culture and heritage
The Prince of Wales wore traditional robes and carried a sword as he participated with members of the Saudi royal family for the Ardah - or sword dance - in the capital Riyadh.
The prince wore a traditional ankle-length garment, known as a "thobe", for the all-male ceremony which is usually performed at events such as weddings.
The Prince’s trip to Saudi Arabia will be the tenth time he officially visited the country since he first toured the nation in 1986. It has been less than a year since Charles last toured both the Saudi kingdom and Qatar.
