Itinerary and highlights
Meet your private English – Speaking Driver at your Amman hotel for an afternoon or evening departure, then relax during the 33 KM (21-Miles) trip to the mosaic city of Madaba. Upon arrival in the historic city, you will be dropped at Haret Jdoudna restaurant, a 19th-century home with gorgeously restored rooms & floors—on cold evenings, there’s often a blazing fire in the restaurant’s hearth. Sit down to a hearty meal of Mezze, the restaurant's selection of small plates. The menu changes with season & availability, but Haret Jdoudna makes a wonderful version of makdous, pickled eggplant with garlic & walnuts, as well as crisply fried halloumi cheese, & a wide variety of fresh salads & starters. Followed with a variety of chicken & beef barbeque prepared for your taste with special Arab delicious spices. There’s also a craft, mosaic, & souvenir shop on site, & after your meal, you are free to browse before meeting the driver for the return trip to Amman, where this culinary excursion experience concludes. This is a tour you will never miss!
