Summary:
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!
