I started Suhaila with my love for human being simply. And for me, food and cooking is one of the best way to share a culture and history. My name is Mohammed and I love to meet new people. I also like to share my story, and my culture. My mom as always been a very good cook and I want to share her recipes with people travelling to Jordan. I adjusted them all to make sure you can do them at home. I also furnish all the recipes. I can welcome up to 6 guests at the same time. The experience is divided in 3 steps for cooking, and there is also explanation on culture and food tour after the class , plus time of course to speak and share together. We eat all the food we cook together.

    Fantastic experience - and great food!

    My wife and I did both the walking tour of Aqaba and cooking class with Mohammed, and our experiences were absolutely fantastic. Mohammed is incredibly knowledgable, welcoming, and great fun. The cooking class with his wife was superb - and the food was delicious!

    More than just a cooking class!

    My friend and I were welcomed as friends into Mohammad’s home. It was so much more than a cooking class - we enjoyed asking questions about life in Aqaba and Jordanian culture. I’ve since made baba ganoush at home and it was delicious - so his wife’s teaching was a success! Mohammad went above and beyond to pick us up from our hotel and take us by a market on the way back to the hotel, as it was our last night in Aqaba and we wanted to do a little more souvenir shopping. We highly recommend this class!

    Too expensive for what you get

    Friendly people and good food, but way too expensive for this ‘experience’. We only prepared a soup, a main dish and a dip. I hoped to learn a lot more for this price. Didn’t go to the market as said.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Carole for your review .since you were the only guests so we tried our best to make main dish ,soup and salad .we would like to grab your attention is 50% of price is for TripAdvisor fees and food price.

    Lovely Jordanian cooking course.

    We spent a marvelous night with Mohammed and his family. We were very welcome and felt honored to share with his family. We not only learned to cook Jordanian delicious dishes, but also from his culture. We are very thankful for the wonderful night and encourage every person who is interested in Jordanian Culinary Recepies to join Mohammed`s family cook course!

    Suhaila (connecting through cooking): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.

    How much does Suhaila (connecting through cooking) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aqaba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Suhaila (connecting through cooking) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aqaba is not rushed.

    Is Suhaila (connecting through cooking) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Suhaila (connecting through cooking)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Suhaila (connecting through cooking) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Suhaila (connecting through cooking)?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aqaba can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aqaba and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Suhaila (connecting through cooking) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aqaba within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Aqaba?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Aqaba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4x4 Full-Day Desert Tour, Wadi Rum Full Day Jeep Tour + Overnight & Dinner in Bedouin Camp, Diving, Snorkeling & Leisure Cruises by Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Aqaba?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Aqaba?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Suhaila (connecting through cooking)?

    +

    Included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Suhaila (connecting through cooking)?

    +

    i will meet our guests at the main door of my home building Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Suhaila (connecting through cooking)?

    +
