Ideas for an Egyptian Themed Party
Apart from mummifying your guests, there are plenty of ideas for Egyptian themed parties. Although never very
succcessful in the World Cup Finals, Egypt have often performed really well at the African Cup of Nations, and in 2010
became the first nation to win the event three times in a row.
Egyptian Party Decorations
Decorate yourself and your room with Egypt shirts, flags and scarves (see links, right,
or
search for Egypt kit on Kitbag.comg(512634)a(1759159))
).
If you're serving food, search for red, black and white table covers, napkins, plates, cups and
cutlery on our general
Football Party Decorations Page

As for colour schemes, in addition to the above ideas, anything else you can find in red, black and white will help create the right atmosphere.
Food for an Egypt Themed Party
The food of Egypt is full of flavour and well-spiced, without being particularly hot in the chilli sense.
They eat a lot of beans and pulses, eggs and omelettes, and poultry (pigeon is particularly popular, as are goose, chicken and quail).
Seafood is also popular near the red sea, and breads are served with every meal.
Try some of these next time Egypt are playing:

Drink for an Egypt Themed Party
Despite being a predominantly moslem country, Egypt does produce and export some wines - both red and white - and a spirit
distilled from wine called
Arak or
Zibib. Tea and coffee are frequently drunk, as is beer. Tracking down Egyptian wines and beer outside
the middle east region isn't easy, unfortunately...However, if you find a good source, please
let us know.
