Hi Folks
I am pondering the idea of doing a meetup in the desert and having a bonfire there.
From what I understood, we can’t have a fire on the open sand.
Are we supposed to go ahead then? Create a fire pit or something? Can someone help me out here?
Thanks
Amar
coal/wood/amber shouldn’t touch the sand. it should be done within a tray or on a base.
You can always get a bbq pit and light a fire on it. That wht we do most of the time now.

I’m genuinely intrigued because I always hear people saying they have BBQs and fires directly on the sand but never thought this was bad for the environment. I thought the ash and wood would potentially work as fertiliser when buried 🤔

Coal shouldn’t be thrown in sand. There’s nothing wrong, except the fact that if polices catches you they will immediately issue a fine of 5000dirhams, and that probably would be the costliest grill you will ever eat 😂😂
My personal experience: we were doing a bbq with families in mahafiz sand. Two guys from the municipalities came in FJ, stopped and came to check out fire pit. When they saw it was on a tray, they smiled and left. And reminded us to not do directly on sand as it invites a fine.
You want to do di a hole, do it, but pls ensure to put the woods or coal over a plate. Imagine everyone digging a hole and then burying the coals!

Thanks @trq, I didn’t know it was prohibited, or that there was a fine. We’ll definitely pack a tray for the fire next time!
