Hash is an event that takes place every Friday in which expats meet at a designated location in Saudi Arabia to meet in the desert and enjoy the natural environment.
This is a video taken by the fellow who drives the van out there every week:

The area looks like the surface of Mars! We walk for a 5 km hike; there was a group of about 200 of us.

There are quite a few fossils in the area; I found a conch shell, from the time that this area was under the Arabian Sea (probably when the last ice age was receding?). It took about 90 minutes to complete. There was a barbecue after for people who brought their own meat. Temp was perfect: 22 C, light wind, no humidity.
