4.Cooking outside in little Petra between the Mountains.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · from $50Top rated

Spend about five hours in Little Petra cooking Jordanian food beside a fire between the rocks. Your hosts, including Hesham, Fiona, or guide Jimmy, explain Bedouin cooking, serve tea, and provide pickup and drop-off.

“The food was really good and Hesham and Fiona were great hosts. The dinner site was right along the road. It ended up being windy and a little rainy on the night I had the dinner, so we didn’t stay out as long as anticipated, but Hesham and Fiona invited me to their house for tea and snacks to make up for it.”
