What is Bonfire?
The Meaning of Bonfire is “a large open-air fire used for burning rubbish or as part of a celebration”. Bonfire is normally used when the families gather in a large number outside in a park, any other picnic place or a place where there is a desert or near to a coastal area where there are no available lights during their stay in the night.
No More Bonfire Allowed in Public Places
Recently, the Saudi authorities have banned and strictly disallowed for any sort of bonfires in gardens and other public places. This step or measure has been taken for safety reasons and vowed to fine offenders. By the way, the practice of setting off fires for cooking in public areas is common in Saudi Arabia as part of outings, preparing food during a picnic and especially cooking BAR B.Q.
