What you can expect

Step into the home of a Jordanian family in Wadi Musa or Petra Village and discover traditional cuisine as it's experienced in everyday life. The experience starts with a warm welcome, accompanied by Arabic tea and dates, a symbol of local hospitality.

Then, you'll actively participate in preparing 1 typical Jordanian dish, such as mansaf or maqluba (makloubeh), as well as traditional salads and meze. While cooking, the family will explain the use of spices, local ingredients, and the cultural significance of each dish.

After cooking, everyone gathers for a shared meal in a relaxed, family atmosphere. This moment is a unique opportunity to talk about everyday life, Jordanian traditions, and the role of food in family gatherings.

Perfect for travellers seeking a genuine cultural experience, this activity offers a true connection with local culture, far from conventional tourist experiences.
