Costumes
"Every shadow in the desert sand tells its own story."
Costume requirement
At Sands of Ofier every visitor contributes to the atmosphere through their costume. Costumes are mandatory for all visitors on Friday and Saturday.
We recommend drawing inspiration from Middle Eastern or North African historical dress, but historicising fantasy or medieval costumes — including those from the world of the Witcher — are also welcome. Browse our reference galleries below for ideas.
Bear in mind that desert days can be scorching while nights turn surprisingly cold. Costumes should be layerable — a light daytime outfit paired with scarves, wraps or a cloak for the evening.
Inspiration for ladies
Flowing trousers or hip skirts, coin belts, embroidered tops and layered jewellery are the obvious starting point — and you can't go wrong with any of them. Do think about warmth too: desert nights can be cold, so layered fabrics are your friend. A daring daytime look can be finished off in the evening with a long-sleeved dress or robe, belted with a sash and wrapped with further scarves or a cloak.
Costumes are mandatory but don't have to be from Ofier specifically — guests travelling from afar are welcome, so a Witcher-world or medieval costume works too.
Inspiration for gentlemen
Just like the ladies, think about heat and cold and embrace the layers. Loose breathable shirts and trousers can be layered with a kaftan or cloak. Wind a turban around your head and don't shy away from jewellery, trinkets and accessories.
Costumes are mandatory but don't have to be from Ofier — a Witcher-world or medieval costume works equally well.
