Excellent experience - The activity was the best, Haroon's explanation and the way he handles activity 10/10. It is certainly an activity adherent to Cappadocia and the Turkish/Arab culture. It teaches you from how to grab the cups, how to put them in the sand, how to fill them and how to take them. Plus it puts you in the right dress. Do it! ✨️🙌🏻

Ugar is the best! - This had a little bit of history, a little bit of costumes and fun, and a little bit of a one-of-a-kind hands-on experience! Turkish coffee, tea, cake, and Turkish delight were served. Small class (only room for 6 people), so we all got a group demonstration, but then a one-on-one experience, which Ugar, the instructor was more than happy to document for you. He was so friendly and clearly passionate about making sure you have the best experience possible. For under $20usd and an hour of pure joy, this was great for me as a solo traveler but would also be fun for couples or families. The sand is very hot (and the coffee is very strong), but I think this would also be great for older children and teens who like to "do" things.

Sand Brewed Coffee experience - This was a truly unique way to experience Turkish culture. Our host was warm and welcoming, making the session enjoyable from start to finish. She shared the fascinating history of Turkish coffee, demonstrated the preparation process, and gave us the opportunity to make our own. She even allowed time for each person to take photos and videos individually. Overall, it was a delightful experience—and the coffee was excellent!

Fun Experience! - My husband and I took this workshop with Asli. She was wonderful to work with, sweet and energetic. We were hands on participating in making the Turkish coffee . Something fun to look into you if you have some extra time in Cappadocia.

Lovely host and very hospitable, but expected a bit more engagement. - Great and interesting experience! Would have loved more interaction while we were enjoying the coffee we made (host was sitting at another table on his phone and did not participate then when we finished our coffee it was OK, all done and we had to leave). Expected a bit more history and intersting facts about Turkish coffee. It was focussing only on the process and only one of us were given the opportunity to make the coffee instead of each of us making our own coffee, so in that regard it wasn't hands-on for each of us. We had a longer and more interesting chat with the person at reception while we were waiting for the experience to start. Definitely worth it, still!
