An Arabian party theme or an Arabian nights party is supposed to create a sense of mystery and intrigue around certain characters. These characters are kings, queens, princes, princesses and thieves.
Your aim is to recreate the desert of Morocco. So you should try and host your party at night, at the beach. This is not essential though, you could hold it in your back garden or in a local park.
I highly suggest you try and rent out a Bedouin tent. They come in all shapes and sizes and will help make your party one to remember. This of course will be dependant on your budget, however for this party theme to work properly and be memorable you really should be thinking about hiring a tent.
For your costume you could dress up like Aladdin or Jasmine. Think slinky harem pants, pointed slippers and turbans. Gold bracelets and jewelry for the ladies. Or as a thematic alternative go for a king, queen, prince, princess or thief.
If you have gone for the tent, most of your furniture needs to be as low down as possible, your guests will preferably be sitting on the floor. So get plenty of nice rugs and cushions. Get some patio lanterns and candles to light your tent and hang crescent moons and stars from the ceiling.
Some added extras which are dependant on your budget would be that you could hire a belly dancer, fire eater, snake charmer, hena artist or fortune teller. Also try and get a goat; tie it up to a post outside your tent.
The food should ideally be served on the floor off platters while everybody is sitting on the floor on cushions and rugs. Look into making some traditional middle eastern dishes.
In Arabia, it is traditional before eating to bathe your fingers in scented water. For this, simply put a few drops of essential oil in a bowl of water.
