The best thing about BBQ party is the experience of gathering with family and friends in an outdoor setting, enjoying delicious grilled food and drinks, and engaging in fun activities and conversations. The laid-back atmosphere of a barbecue party also provides an opportunity to unwind and relax while enjoying the company of others.
Barbequing is not completely banned in Qatar, it is just regulated due to safety and environmental concerns. In the past, unregulated barbecuing had led to cases of fire and environmental pollution. Therefore, the government has put in place regulations to control it.
For instance, residents need to obtain a permit from the government to barbecue in designated areas such as parks, beaches, and other outdoor venues. This ensures that the regulations are followed, and the risk of fire is minimized.
