I remember a few years back they had guy fawkes night out in the desert but I haven't heard of anyone organising one in the last few years. Like everything else here it seems to be gone the way of the dodo...

Well it is celebrating an event that is more political in nature than religious... so I don't see a reason why it will be banned should the embassy or expat community request a license!

The truth is, no one ever did and probably wont.

Just set the neighbor's land cruiser on fire and enjoy ;)
