Today, we take in one of the Wonders of the World - the famous Nabatean city of Petra. On our guided tour, we’ll admire incredible sights including the hill-top Monastery and the Treasury, which is famed from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade movie. Early this evening, it's back to the kitchen to continue our culinary journey with our second lesson.
This morning we'll return to Petra with our guide via the 'secret road' of al-Madras, and then explore the High Place of Sacrifice, Wadi Farasa and the Great Temple Complex. After another day of sightseeing, we'll return to the Petra Kitchen to start the evening’s cooking, followed by a spectacular meal.
This morning is free to relax in the hotel or explore Petra further at leisure. In the afternoon we'll join our chef and head to the bustling markets. Here, we will shop for tonight's ingredients and enjoy the vibrant smells and sounds of the market (bring your camera). Once your ingredients have been purchased, it's time to head to the kitchen to turn our finds into something delicious.
Today we visit Shobak, one of the great chain of Crusader fortresses. After exploring this ancient castle, we return to Petra, stopping en route at an orchard or farm, tucked away in the fertile hillsides and perhaps pick up some ripe ingredients for the evening's meal (seasonal).
