Soldiers have put their desert combat skills to the test in the hot, dusty conditions of Oman.

Exercise Khanjar Oman gave around 1,000 British Army troops – some of whom had never been to the desert – the chance to pick up new skills and train alongside Omani forces.

Training took place in the Ras Madrakah training area which is around 4,000 sq km – so big, every training area in the UK could fit inside it.
