Arabian Nights Themed Venue
Hiring a bespoke tent or marquee tailored to your Arabian Nights themed event is the perfect venue choice. There are plenty of options to choose from depending on how many guests you have and how much space you need. A Yurt or dome tent is great for small gathering, whilst stretch tents are a perfect for large parties.
Arabian Nights Inspired Decor
A luxurious but relaxed vibe is what you should aim for to immerse your guests in the Arabian Nights theme. Think purples, reds, burnt orange and gold. Kit out your tent with Moroccan Kobba lanterns and make sure there are plenty of traditional chests and trinkets dotted around the venue. Lavish drapes and Persian rugs will also add to the feel of the theme. And throw in some floor seating complete with cushions and throws to complete the look!
