The Egyptian court dining room differs from the French Court. It is composed of more than a dozen small round tables forming a room capable of accommodating about a hundred people. Each round table is set with exquisite ceramic dinnerware, silver cutlery, and a card printed with the guest's name.
Since Governor Said is not particularly fond of fuss, all guests are seated according to their usual dining positions in the restaurant.
Except for Jerome Bonaparte, most guests entering the dining room have a vague sense of their seating area, allowing them to smoothly find their allocated spots.
As the highlight guest of the whole banquet, Jerome Bonaparte was arranged by Governor Said to sit closest to the stage where the performance would take place.
Once Jerome Bonaparte and others took their seats, a band dressed in black formal suits, holding various musical instruments in their hands, proceeded to the stage from the other side of the dining room.
