Fun Photos: Oh yeah? So that was what Prince Harry got up to in Oman today

Coming to America Oman!!!
Prince Harry handled a traditional Omani sword with worrying ease and joked: 'So where are the press?' during a visit to the historic Nizwa Fort in Oman's Ad Dakhiliyah region today.
The fourth in line to the throne was in the court yard of the Fort, which one of Oman's oldest buildings, when he was handed the weapon and a cone-shaped shield as he watched local dancers.
The men were performing a razha, a sword dance, and Harry couldn't resist giving it a go himself, squaring up to one of the men, a 60-year-old named named Mohammed Moussa.
On Thursday, his next stop will be Abu Dhabi, UAE for a charity polo match and Sunday's Formula One Grand Prix.
All smiles: Harry is currently on a three-day tour of Oman and will travel on to Emirati capital Abu Dhabi on Thursday

Having fun: The traditional dance is also performed on major public holidays such as Eid al-Adha 
Good look: The prince wielded the sword and tiny accompanying shield like a natural
Good job! Harry had been warned by Prince Charles that he might be asked to take part in a sword dance
Good humoured: Harry appeared to enjoy his tour of the beautiful 15th century Nizwa Fort
Tour: After the sword dance, Harry toured the compound and met traders in the local souk
Arsenal: He also had a close look at some of the elaborately decorated weapons on display
Drama: The children had brought a bouquet for Harry's wife too but quickly hid it when they realised there is no Mrs Wales
Stunning: The Fort is backdropped by mountains and is one of Oman's most historic sites
Next stop: On Thursday, Harry will travel on to Abu Dhabi for a charity polo match and Sunday's Formula One Grand Prix
Delighted: Harry beamed as one gorgeously dressed little girl approached with a gift for him
Confident: Harry tests the sword
