Excellent experience in Aqaba - The Sayadia cooking experience was a highlight of a weekend in Aqaba. Mustafa and his team, along with the lovely host family, did an exceptional job. The food preparation was fun and interesting, and I learned some of the secrets in making this traditional meal.

Fun but not a cooking class - The group we did the experience with was fun, but we didn't really cook anything the host cooked it all and we each cut up 1 item. I think cooking class doesn't really describe this experience.
