> Cuisine Tours:

Try your hand at a unique experience, cooking the Jordanian way. 

We can offer you up to 5 days Cuisine Course at our Petra Kitchen, you will learn how to make various dishes, shop with our expert chef and perhaps pick up some of the language. We guarantee that it will be a completely unique experience. 

The Arab world are famous for enjoying their meals, taking the opportunity to bring family and friends together over a lavish banquet, usually leisurely and for all the family to enjoy. The ladies take pride in putting together a meal, pouring their heart and soul into the dishes.  

You can learn how it’s done each evening, working side-by-side with both local ladies and a professional chef. Jordanians are famous for their hospitality and you will get an understanding of what that means during the five nights.  

The tasty and beautifully presented assortments of mezze (appetizers), which signal the start of a typical meal, reflect a cultural tradition of generosity. 

Main courses usually combine simple ingredients with an exotic array of spices – a reminder that since time immemorial this land has been at the crossroads of the ancient spice caravans. 

The Petra Kitchen is like any home kitchen, a relaxed, informal atmosphere where you will gather to prepare an evening meal. Each meal includes soup, cold and hot mezza and salads, along with a main course – all typical Jordanian dishes. 

Your days will be filled with visits to Petra and Wadi Rum (desert area made famous by Laurence of Arabia), as well as other local attractions, you will visit farms and orchards and go shopping in local markets. 

Take back both photographs and recipes. Imagine yourself hosting a dinner at your home that does not only include showing the photographs you have collected over the duration of your holiday, but serving up a variety of Jordanian dishes to your guests. What better way to impress them?
