Egyptian Parties

(you could combine this with an Indiana Jones party)

Egyptian parties revolve around a desert environment and the Kings and Queens of the Egyptian world - Cleopatra, King Tutankhamen (King Tut), and Queen Nefertiti.

Pairings - Nefertiti and Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and his (possible) stepmother Nefertiti, Cleopatra and Julius Caesar.

Egyptian Party Ideas

• Bake golden biscuits in a triangle shape and decorate with yellow or gold icing.
   
• Have a mummy-wrapping competition - see who can wrap their 'mummy' the fastest. You may need to stock up on toilet paper for this one.
