This is the only tour in the region where you get to first hand experience Druze life in The Galilee. The Druze are an Arabic speaking sect that are part of main stream Israeli society, who live in the Galilee region of the North. Our tour allows a glimpse into their beliefs and lifestyles, through their rich culinary traditions.

Food and Friendship

Wow! What a fantastic experience this was. We were welcomed into the home and truly felt like family. Our hosts were so gracious. We learned so much about basic things like how to core a zucchini without destroying it. All of the dishes we prepared were done in a kosher kitchen. The end result was a huge feast of food that was absolutely decadent! What a wonderful way to learn about another culture through cooking and new friendships! I highly recommend this tour.

A Delightful and Delicious Experience

We were met by Paul Nirens, a friendly Australian now living in Israel, who was our interpreter, guide and photographer. We were welcomed into the home of Mi'ad, a lovely Druze woman who told us about her life and her culture before showing us how to prepare a number of Druze recipes. The cooking class was both fun and informative and the lunch we enjoyed afterwards was delicious. Paul sent us the recipes and we plan to host at least one dinner party featuring Mi'ad's recipes. It was a wonderfu...read more

The Druze Cooking with Galileat was phenomenal! It was very special meeting the Druze family and cooking and eating with them. They were extremely hospitable and our guide Paul was exceptional! An outstanding experience!

Cooking and Much More with a Druze Family

Wendy, Lorie and I spent two weeks touring Israel in Oct 2022. A very special highlight of our trip was a visit (arranged by Galileat) to a Druze family for a hands-on cooking class. Our hosts had us all very busy in their kitchen preparing a multi-course meal from fresh, local ingredients. Then, the payoff: eating what we'd help prepare with our hosts. It was delicious. But our visit to their home was much more than the cuisine. Before our fun in the kitchen, we spent an hour in convers...read more
