Discover Jordan through authentic local experiences that go beyond sightseeing. Step into a traditional home and learn the secrets of Jordanian cuisine, from preparing mansaf—the national dish—to rolling vine leaves and baking fresh bread in a clay oven. In Petra, join Bedouin hosts to bake shrak bread over an open fire, sip tea, and hear stories that reflect centuries of desert tradition.
In Madaba and Ajloun, meet local artisans and try your hand at mosaic making, embroidery, weaving, or even crafting olive oil soap—unique souvenirs with a personal touch. Head to the Jordan Valley to experience farming life, whether it’s harvesting olives, picking seasonal fruits, or learning about the herbs that flavor Jordanian dishes.
For an unforgettable adventure, camp under the stars in Wadi Rum, enjoy a traditional zarb cooked underground, listen to Bedouin music, and marvel at the vast desert sky. Finally, wander through the old markets of Amman, tasting falafel, knafeh, and fragrant spices while exploring the vibrant history of the capital with a local guide.
