Just thought this will be interesting to post:

1- Najdi Ardha:

2- Ardha Janoobiya - Southern Ardha:

More will be added later, I dont claim to be an expert on these dances and do not know when they are done (as I am sure some of them are done in certain occasions, the Zamil for example.. as far as I know is done when 2 tribes meet)
