For picnics I have been to many places. Sea Sides (usually go there), Mountains, parks etc. As far as I can remember, there are two places where I haven't been. Forests and Deserts.
Just went to a desert picnic arranged by my company, Agility Logistics. It was fun for both bachelors and family. Huge tents were erected and coolers and Air Conditioning was used to keep the temperature at acceptable levels. A tent was also there which contained stalls from various restaurants. Some cabins were there for toilets. And one cabin was there for showers as well. yes showers !
Then smaller tents were also there where family and friends can collect for their chit chat and relaxation, in typical Arabic style, with carpets and cushions put in the corner.
An Arabic Round table was also there. By Arabic Round Table I mean a round table without the table. With arrangements for fire in the centre and cushions in the corner. This round table is used for everything from discussions to musical entertainments.
For Games and fun, there were arrangements for volley ball, basketball, football, table football (urf patteee), billiards, dominoes, cards and some arabic board games were there as well.
Arrangements were made for Magic Shows, Circus, songs and party.
We had a few games of Billiard and then came out for a game of Volleyball and it was GREAT fun.
The only uselessness was the desert storm. But it gave us a feel of how people used to live in these places and go about their day to day lives some 100 or more years back.
But in the end it was a nice experience.

How about nights, did you get to spend night. If yes, how was the weather like.
Well we came back before Maghrib. But I think the nights would have been more exciting. Would have had a feel of how it would have been during the time of Arab Bedouins. Would definitely keep a look out for this.
