Spend a few hours seeing where food in Ghor Al Safi comes from. Visit local farms, gather what is in season, cook with local hosts and finish by sitting down together for the meal at Safi Kitchen.
Safi Kitchen is not only about arriving for a finished meal. This experience takes you into the agricultural side of Ghor Al Safi first, then brings those ingredients back to the kitchen. For more about the project itself, visit the main Safi Kitchen page.
Go out with local hosts and see some of the farms that shape everyday life in Ghor Al Safi.
When produce is available, gather seasonal vegetables and ingredients that can be used later in the kitchen.
Back at Safi Kitchen, join your hosts in preparing local dishes rather than simply waiting for the food to arrive.
When the cooking is finished, sit down together and eat the meal you helped prepare.
You do not need to be an experienced cook. Families, couples and small groups often enjoy it because it is relaxed, hands-on and gives you time with local people away from the usual sightseeing stops.
This is different from simply booking a restaurant table. Part of the experience is understanding where the ingredients come from, helping with the cooking and spending time with the people hosting you.
The farms change with the season, so what you see and harvest can be different from one visit to another.
Help prepare the food with your hosts. The point is to take part, not just order and eat.
There is time to sit, eat and talk with people from the area instead of rushing on to the next stop.
If you are already coming to Ghor Al Safi, you can make a fuller day of it by adding Wadi Al Hasa or one of the local cultural experiences.
