Cooking With Christine Benlafquih
We took a Moroccan cooking class with Christine in her home. Christine has been cooking Moroccan food for 20+ years. Check out our blog post about our wonderful experience. We had a blast cooking with her and her children. (Note: Christine only runs cooking classes for women.)

Egypt
Tour Companies

Jana Tours Egypt
We spent 5 days in Egypt and Mohamed Abaza the managing director of this tour company helped map out and plan our whole Egypt tour. We had an incredible experience with them. We asked him to give us all of Egypt in a tiny time-frame and he more than delivered. Our tour guide Hesham Etman was the best and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company. Their reviews don't lie, TripAdvisor reviews.

Hotels

Antika Amman Hotel
This was a great bed & breakfast. The host/owners were up and waiting when we arrived for a late check-in and were very friendly. Having breakfast readily available and included in the price of your room is great too. Also centrally located. Many other tourists agreed, TripAdvisor reviews.

Petra Guest House Hotel
If you're planning to visit Petra, then this is the hotel to stay in. It puts you right at the entrance and eliminates the need to arrange for transportation to see this incredible sight. The service here is great. Plenty of others can vouch for us, TripAdvisor reviews.
