Experience Details

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.
