Well the female painting and the old Syrian photo are not realistic to say the least. I am not sure about Egyptian bellydancers using swords too but maybe.
As for males dancing with swords, yes its an old tradition. There is the gulf Arab Ardha and the Omani razha. There is a Yemeni dance too. I had a topic about it somewhere. |

Cossacks dancing with Kinjals
Dancing with swords is a fun way to pass the time in many places!

A OLD MAGAZINE CIRCA 1914 TO 1922 DRAWING OF A SWORD DANCE. INTERESTING BUT PERHAPS NOT DEPICTING A REAL PLACE OR CIVILIZATION.

Alardah Alnajdiyah, dance, drumming and poetry in Saudi Arabia
A decent summary of the dance. Although I think some of the names are not correct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dinIKjrgW0 |
