About this experience

One of the most enjoyable ways to immerse yourself in a new culture is through its cuisine, and with this culinary-focused experience, you will get the chance to try out Jordanian food in a traditional local restaurant at either lunch or dinner time. The menu will feature everything from traditional Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian, cold and hot “Mezze” (small dishes) to house-baked bread, and end with Jordanian sweet specialties. After your meal, you will even get the chance to puff on flavored tobacco called “Shisha” on your own personal expense. This 3-hour excursion includes lunch or dinner, as well as round-trip transport from your Amman hotel in a private, climate-controlled vehicle with your own English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide to avoid the hassle of taking a local taxi and wait on this amazing experience!
