When organizing such a holiday, it is necessary to remember that the East is not only a delicate matter, but also an exquisite one. That is why it is worth carefully approaching all the details.

For example, it is better to place the invitations that you will send to your guests in individual envelopes and seal them with sealing wax - you must admit, such an invitation is not given to you every day :).

You should also be strict when it comes to decorating the premises. A large number of pillows, an oriental table that does not require chairs, and, of course, large number candles and flowers will create the necessary atmosphere.

You can also use original lanterns and imitation tents as decorative decorations.

The setting of dishes and tables should be fully consistent with the oriental theme - more silk and gold, use the following ideas to recreate the authentic atmosphere at the holiday.

Do you want to keep our tradition of decorating the spruce? Then use toys and decor in oriental style.

Women at the festival can only partially look like orientals :). That's why you can take the most beautiful elements from the outfits of these amazing women - flowing silhouettes, bright cat makeup, henna hand painting and crazy waves of attractiveness.

Your outfit can be bold and open or more European but with oriental influences.

Do not forget that our Slavic sultans must be invited to the New Year in oriental style :). Those who are more daring can dress like real rich Arabs. Those who don’t like themed holidays can only imitate a costume using, for example, arafatka!

The main entertainment of the evening can be the guest dancers, dancing dance belly. By the way, later, you can conduct a training master class among everyone.

Wouldn't this surprise you? What about dancers with live snakes? :).

The most original guests of the holiday can be artists who specialize in organizing fire shows.

Also, when preparing the New Year in an oriental style, you can rent a restaurant in the same style, where there is a hookah room - many guests will be surprised to taste oriental delights :)

You should also take care of an exotic corner where everyone can take photos as a souvenir :).

As a treat, it is best to choose oriental traditional dishes:

• Tazhin.
• Couscous.
• Baba ghanouj, hummus, fatayer or tabbouleh.

Also, don’t forget about the sweets that people in the East adore.

A candy bar decorated in oriental style would be a great idea.

There you can place sweets more familiar to the Slavs, made in the style of the holiday.

For music, you can use various oriental motifs that you can find on the Internet.

No, no, not fishing stores, but jewelry stores. Let's applaud him and ask our birthday girl to come out to meet the groom and give him an answer. And she will do this, of course, with a song. During the feast, the host takes one of the guests aside in advance. He will need to portray an Arab sheikh.

The national outfit of an oil tycoon should be depicted as a long silk robe. Don't forget also about massive shiny chains and rings. The sheikh and the birthday girl must dance and sing for the guests to the song “ Oriental tales». Presenter: Well, our birthday girl refused this groom too. True, I must admit to you, he is somehow not very good... We will wait for the prince on a white horse - an Arabian horse.

Characters: presenter, stargazer, oriental dance performer.

(The hall is decorated in oriental style (fruits, organza, oriental lanterns, pillows).

On the wall- a comic collage of photographs of the wife of the hero of the day in various years and in various images.
The collage is called “My Favorite Harem”. The presenter comes out to the sounds of A. Ukupnik’s song “Petrukha.”)

Leading: Good evening, friends! I welcome you to today’s celebration, which I am pleased to begin with poetic lines:

Abode of wisdom and sun,
Great Antiquity sprout!
His mysteries are endless -
I invite everyone to the east!

Dear guests! Today we have a chance to experience the whole flavor of the East, namely: take a trip to the famous oriental bazaar, feel the aromas of various spices, taste exotic fruits, see an original dance oriental beauty, meet the famous Baghdad stargazer and much more! This wonderful gift of fate - to attend a real holiday of Eastern life - became possible thanks to the hero of the day, respected... (the patronymic name of the hero of the day).

And it is to him that I dedicate the first ancient oriental toast: Once upon a time to the padishah, who became famous for his good deeds, the wizard came and brought him three priceless gifts. He told him: “My first gift is health! May you be strong and not subject to illness. My second gift is oblivion of fears, sorrows and troubles. Cleanse your soul from these burdens! And the third gift is the gift of intuition, which will tell you in life the right move." Let us wish our hero of the day these three gifts: health, oblivion of sorrows and intuition that would guide him through life. happy way! (Short pause.) Host: Friends! In the previous wise oriental toast, we wished the birthday boy to have three priceless gifts in life: health, oblivion of sorrows and intuition. Now let’s ask him to accept three equally valuable gifts purchased at a real oriental bazaar. All three items symbolize wealth, which is also very necessary in our lives!
(Three assistants in oriental costumes carry out souvenirs on beautiful trays, which are presented to the hero of the day with brief explanations to them.)

1. A three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth is a very popular Eastern symbol of great luck. The coin in the mouth represents gold. The easiest way to activate money energy is to place one toad in each room of the house or place it on the office desk. The main thing is to make sure that the toad is sitting with its back to the door, as if it had just jumped into your house.
2. The money tree is the most common symbol of wealth. An old story tells about him eastern legend: When the tree is shaken, gold coins fall to the ground like raindrops. We hope that the rain of these coins will literally flood your home. But be careful - don't drown!
3. Oranges and tangerines in a beautiful vase - in the east they symbolize gold and successful business. Let a vase with these fruits decorate your home at any time of the year!

Leading: Once in an eastern caravanserai, I overheard beautiful words of wisdom that I want to pronounce today in this hall: trees with deep roots have lush foliage. You, of course, guessed that we're talking about about the inextricable connection between children and their parents. We bow deeply to the respected... (patronymic name of the parents of the hero of the day) for their love and patience! After all, they gave the world such a wonderful son! (Congratulations to the parents of the hero of the day.) (Short musical pause.)

The chorus of the song “Eastern Tales” performed by the group “Brilliant” sounds.

Leading: It is known that the East is full of secrets and mysteries. Perhaps the most mysterious and charismatic eastern personalities are magicians and soothsayers. Meet one of them - the keeper of great secrets, an expert on human destinies, a sage and astrologer from Baghdad, Huseyn Guslia!

The stargazer comes out with a turban on his head, a small book bound in velvet in his hands, and a bag of coffee beans on his wrist.

Astrologer: Oh, most respected ones! I greet you all and especially the noble man who has gathered such a large number of friends! I believe that prosperity and happy summers await everyone present! Let me arrange a short exam on your knowledge of the most ancient eastern science - astrology. So, my friends, pay attention! Zodiac horoscope divides the year into twelve signs, which are the focus of my questions:

1. Which zodiac sign bears the royal title? (Lion)
2. What sign can whistle on the mountain? (Cancer)
3. Which sign is like itself like two peas in a pod? (Twins)
4. What sign can lead to flooding? (Aquarius)
5. Which sign has sharp horns? (Capricorn)
6. Which sign can accurately hit the target? (Sagittarius)
7. What sign is the husband of a gentle lamb? (Aries)
8. Which sign is the most feminine? (Virgo)
9. Which sign is considered the most stubborn? (Taurus)
10. What sign would a woman never agree to stand on in the presence of a man? (Scales)
11. What sign does a poisonous sting have? (Scorpion)
12. What sign does every angler dream of? (Fish)

Astrologer: I am convinced that you are well versed in the doctrine of stars, planets and their combination, but the exam is not over yet! The real magical oriental talisman will be received by the one who names:
- the zodiac sign under which the hero of the day was born;
- a symbol of the year when the birthday boy was born.

The astrologer gives beads and beans to guests who answer these questions correctly. Beans are considered in the East to be a love talisman, as well as a powerful amulet. To make beads, you need to soak the beans in water, string them on a thin fishing line and let them dry. In parting, the astrologer offers to tell fortunes to the hero of the day in the ancient oriental way - using coffee beans.

Fortune telling on coffee beans

The astrologer takes 6 coffee beans from his bag and gives them to the hero of the day.

The birthday boy, to the accompaniment of a calm oriental melody, pouring beans from hand to hand, should imagine how the coffee seeds are saturated with his energy. Then he needs to bring his palms to his forehead, close his eyes and concentrate on the exciting problem. After this, the fortuneteller throws the grains on the table, and the astrologer counts how many of them fell upside down and reads out the prediction: when solving a problem that worries you, you will discover a lot of new and useful things. In the meantime, open a bottle of wine and don’t think about anything!

The astrologer says goodbye and leaves. The first verse and chorus of the song “Harem” performed by Irina Allegrova sounds.

Leading: Is it possible to imagine the East without beautiful brown-eyed beauties;
without the magical ringing of monist, sparkling beads, flowing chiffon and silk, delicate velvet;
without the glitter of jewelry and the charm of music, turning every woman into a fairy-tale goddess.
Our holiday will not be complete without fiery oriental dance. Meet Jamila - a beautiful representative of the East!

Music sounds and a dancer performs a dance. At the end of her speech, Jamila silently leaves a mysterious package on the table and disappears.

Leading: Here they are beautiful women live in the East! Let's see what's inside the package.

The presenter takes out a hookah and an ancient parchment with an inscription from the package.

Leading(unfolding the parchment): This is an appeal from everyone oriental women to our anniversary!

Reads:
Padishah of the Persian fairy tale!
We ask for mercy.
And from all eastern women,
We present you with a hookah as a gift!
Let them immediately appear in your dreams
Sensual concubines moan.
And the hookah smoke will give
Sleep and sweet languor.
All of us, women of the East,
We would be happy to join you in your harem
Night, moon, hookah and you -
There is no better reward in life!

Signatures: Gyulchatay, Zukhra, Zarina, Guzel, Saida, Hafiza, Leila, Zulfiya and then 18 more female names.

Leading(passing the hookah to the hero of the day): Unfortunately, we have to disappoint these 26 lovely women - they have no chance of getting into the harem of the hero of the day! All harem places are occupied by the only and beloved wife... (wife's middle name). Sometimes difficult, but happy years were lived with her, and the wife always, in one person, perfectly coped with the responsibilities of a wife, mistress, mother, and keeper of the hearth.

(The presenter draws the guests’ attention to a comic collage of photographs of his wife).

It is no coincidence that the hero of the day, calling this collage “My Favorite Harem,” awarded his wife the highest title - his beloved and only wife!

(Congratulations to the wife of the hero of the day.)

Leading: I'll tell you a secret: maintaining a harem - not an easy task! In the East they tell the following story: the Sultan’s harem was located five kilometers from the palace. Every day the Sultan sent his servant to fetch the girl. The Sultan lived to be a hundred years old, and the servant died at thirty. Moral: It’s not women who kill men, it’s running after them! To be ready to conquer many women, you need to have excellent health and a trained body. I invite men to be the owners of a harem and try to win the hearts of the ladies present here! The presenter selects two men from among the guests to participate in the competition, and the third participant is the hero of the day.

HULA-HOOP IN EASTERN STYLE

(Competition for men)

Three participants - candidates for sultan - are given hula hoops and fans.
The one who can spin the hoop around his waist for the longest time, while fanning himself with a fan, wins the competition and gets the right to take a souvenir photo among the beautiful inhabitants of the “harem”, that is, simultaneously with all the women present at the celebration.

During the competition, ladies are encouraged to cheer loudly for the potential sultans. The presenter sums up the results so that the winner is the hero of the day. Even if the birthday boy failed to complete the task, we can declare that the support of his fans was the most active. The birthday boy and the ladies present at the celebration pose for the photographer.

Leading: Eastern wisdom says: “The tongue is one, the ear is two; say it once, twice - listen! Especially for the winner of the competition, our dear hero of the day... (first name)

Everyone’s favorite song from the film “Prisoner of the Caucasus” is performed. The song “If I were a Sultan” sounds, then there is a dance break.

Leading: You cannot ignore the famous oriental cuisine, which has recipes for thousands of delicious dishes that can surprise even the most sophisticated gourmet. It is known that in the East, many spices are used when preparing dishes. The prize will be given to the one who names the most expensive spice in the world. (Answer: Saffron is the most expensive spice and is valued more than gold, because the process of its production is very labor-intensive.)

The prize for the correct answer is a set of spices.

Leading: I announce a women's competition for the best expert oriental sweets! Why female? Because they are the ones with the biggest sweet tooth.

EASTERN SWEETS

(Contest)

The competition involves three women who take turns pronouncing the names of oriental sweets. If the word is not named, the participant is eliminated. Possible options answers: baklava, shaker, kurabiye, churchkhela, candied fruits, Turkish delight, kozinaki, badam, nougat, halva, sherbet, grilled cakes, marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade. The winner receives a set of oriental delicacies.

Leading: In the East they say this: you can lead a camel to water, but you cannot force it to drink. Men, it's time to test the truth of these words!

EASTERN TALE

Three participants (men) distribute roles among themselves: the first neighbor, the second neighbor and the nickel. The presenter reads the text, and when their role is mentioned, the players drink a glass of vodka.

Fairy tale: One day two neighbors went to the market to sell wine. Along the way, the neighbors sat down to rest and have a snack.
“It would be nice to have a glass of wine now,” the first neighbor sighed.
- I agree, but we are bringing wine to sell, and not a drop should be wasted! - the second neighbor reasoned.
Then the first neighbor searched his pockets, found a copper coin and said to the second neighbor:
- Pour me a nickel worth of wine.
The second neighbor poured him one glass, then returned the same nickel and asked the first neighbor: - Now you pour it for me.
So this nickel passed from hand to hand until the wineskins were empty, and both neighbors snored, drunk and happy with the trade.

So let's drink to a successful deal!

The game participants and spectators drink.

Leading: Like this cautionary tale! Our “camels” didn’t want to drink, but we had to! Now let's give them a sobriety test. To identify the most sober, I ask the participants in the game to take turns loudly and clearly pronounce the following simple phrase: concept social stratification. The men try to complete the task, the presenter announces the name of “The Most Sober” and invites him to move to the opposite category, that is, drink a large glass of vodka.

If the player agrees (it is not necessary to drink), then he is awarded the second honorary title"The bravest."

Leading: Friends! And now I propose a test of collective intelligence! You have to correctly solve the riddle with an oriental twist. I will read the text and ask a question, and you right moment together, in unison, give me the correct answer.

EASTERN MYSTERY - GIVEAWAY

Behind the carved lattice of the garden,
Among the eastern greenery,
Three tired travelers
They walked peacefully on a moonless night.
The first one said: “Where is she?
The light of my eyes is the moon!”
The second one answered in the darkness:
“May Allah help us!”
Well, the third did this: Eeyore! Eeyore! Eeyore!
It was an old donkey!
Suddenly broke through from behind the clouds
Bright, full, lunar circle.
The first one cried out:
“Here she is! The light of my eyes is the moon!”
With gratitude in your eyes:
The second said: “Oh, Allah!” (To the audience)

Attention! In chorus of the third man, tell me the words!
Guests' response: Eeyore! Eeyore! Eeyore!
Leading: Now everyone, quickly grab your ears. (Pause) Is everything okay? Has anyone's ears gotten bigger? And then you screamed so naturally... It was, of course, a joke. And now I will make a serious oriental toast and ask everyone present to support me! In the East they think like this: if you want to be happy for one day, get drunk, if you want to be happy for one week, get sick, if you want to be happy for one month, get married, and if you want to be happy all your life, be healthy! Let's raise a glass to the health of the hero of the day!

TOAST

Congratulations to the guests, musical pause. During a musical break, the host stops the music and offers to listen to an instructive oriental story.

Leading: A fool saw a watermelon at the market and asked:
- What is this?
“A donkey egg,” they answered him.

He chose the largest watermelon, put it under his arm and went home. On the way, he dropped a watermelon, and it rolled downhill, hit a stone and cracked. And then a hare jumped out of the bushes and ran away.
- Oh, what a quick donkey hatched, and I missed him! - the fool regretted.

At this point I should have said: let’s drink to the fools, without whom it would be boring to live in the world! However, I prepared a surprise and changed the ending of this story: so let's taste this ripe, fragrant watermelon, and I hope that no one in this room expects that a donkey will hatch from it.

Helpers bring out the watermelon and treat the guests. The musical pause continues. Host: The East has given humanity many very useful inventions. I ask you to raise your hands of those who have an “A” or “B” in history on their matriculation certificate. The guests raise their hands. The presenter invites them to go on stage and holds the “Great Inventions of the East” competition.

GREAT INVENTIONS OF THE EAST

(Team competition)

Three teams of 2-3 people each participate.
Each team is given three items:
- Calendar, sheet of paper, pack of tea;
- Chess piece, silk scarf, bag of rice;
- Compass, chopsticks, paper figurine (origami).

The teams’ task is to conduct historical research in 1 minute and determine in which country each item was invented.
(Correct answers: calendar - Egypt; chess - India; art of origami - Japan; paper, tea, compass, silk, rice, daddies - China.)

The team that gives the most accurate answers gets the right to keep the items as prizes.

Leading: Friends! I suggest taking a look at the eastern Antiquities Shop, where among coins, weapons, dishes, clothing, household items and other antiques you can find truly ancient and mysterious objects. An example of such an unusual acquisition can be this vessel.

The presenter demonstrates a bottle of five-star Armenian cognac, made in the form of an amphora.

Leading: Giving this mysterious vessel as a gift for our birthday boy, the seller of the Antiquities Shop told me the following story:
The ancient vessel was raised
From the waves of the mysterious sea.
And in it there is a gray-haired magic gin
Languishing in centuries-old captivity!
P.S. At the bottom the vessel was covered with mud,
And the genie was pretty bored.
He was waiting for the cork to open,
And even a little wild...
Break the seal of times quickly,
Five stars is like five centuries.
And instantly free the genie
You are from the shackles that bind!
Just make a wish -
And he will fulfill it at the same moment!
After all, the famous school of magicians
He was a capable student.
So that gin mothballs spirit
Didn't it seem too gloomy to you?
I just flavored it slightly -
Infusing the bottle with a spirit... cognac.

Leading(passing the bottle to the hero of the day): Handing over this magical vessel, I want to remind you of the famous eastern wisdom: Make your wishes with caution, because they may come true.

If the hero of the day offers to immediately open the bottle, its contents are poured out to those who wish, and the one whose glass is filled last is considered the genie. He is obliged to fulfill any wish of the birthday boy.

Leading: Friends! Of course, you know from school curriculum, that the word East is closely associated with such a term as the Great Silk Road. This caravan trade route was the longest and played the role of a connecting link between countries of different civilizations. I propose to repeat this complex route right in our hall and deliver some goods to their destination. I will need the help of two men who will play the role of caravan guards.

The leader selects assistants and forms their “caravans” - two teams of 4-5 people.

THE GREAT SILK ROAD

(Team game)

Team members line up one after another, the caravan leader is in front of everyone. Then all the right legs are tied together, and all the left legs are tied together in the same way. At the starting line there are various objects (there should not be many of them, otherwise the game will drag on), which the “caravan” needs to deliver to its destination - the finish line.

To prevent the “caravan” from moving back empty, objects are also placed on the finish line. To the sounds of the song “Uchkuduk” performed by the group “Yalla”, the teams begin to move, led by the caravan leaders.

The team that moves all the items first wins.

The game can be complicated by laying a strip of wallpaper from start to finish, then the participants will need to move strictly along this “caravan route”, without going beyond its limits. Players on the winning team receive toy compasses as prizes.

Leading: In the East there is a wonderful way to preserve age. Those days spent with guests do not count. I propose a toast to you, dear guests, because today, without knowing it, you extended the life of our hero of the day! (Dance program.)

Accessories

Place low ottomans and small sofas in the tent. In order to have enough seats for all guests, you will need beautiful pillows that need to be placed at the tables. Tables should be small and low. You can put a hookah.
Special attention need to pay attention to the dishes. Try to find dishes painted with beautiful patterns, jugs, bowls, trays. If you don’t have this at home, you can ask your friends or rent it from restaurants or cafes of oriental cuisine.
For oriental flavor and festivity, the tent should be decorated with lanterns, fans, paintings, and daggers. Pictures of the desert, camels, horses, oases, fairy-tale pictures of padishahs and Arab princesses are well suited.
Arrange vases with greenery and flowers.
Party lighting should be diffused without bright light. It is good to curtain chandeliers with fabric or paper. You need to create twilight, but it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the guests will want to sleep.
Prepare selections with music. You can invite professional dancers who will diversify the evening.
The premises must be decorated in accordance with the recreation program. If dancing is expected, tables and pillows should be arranged in such a way as to leave room for dancing in the middle. If some performances, belly dancing, skits are expected, then you can prepare a small stage. The stage can be separated with a curtain and decorated with balls, beads and ribbons. It is enough to lay a fluffy and bright carpet on the floor, different from others in its color.
