An Arabian nights or an Arabian party theme is supposed to create a sense of mystique and intrigue surrounding thieves, princes, princess, kings and queens.

You need to try and create an aura of the Moroccan desert at night. So definitely throw your party in the late evening and also at the beach would be a great idea. If not, then your back garden should suffice.

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.

Your guests will preferably be sitting on the floor, so get plenty of Arabian style rugs and cushions. Any tables should be as low down as possible. Get some patio lanterns and candles to light your tent or venue and finally 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.

For the food, you should be looking at some traditional middle eastern dishes. Your party should ideally be eating while sitting on the floor, so keep the food on platters kept on the floor and let everybody dive in.

It is traditional for guests to bathe their fingers in scented water prior to eating. For this, put a few drops of essential oil in water. It works really well!
