Our Jerusalem Food Tour & Cooking Experience will take you through a cultural mainstay in Jerusalem, the open-air Machane Yehuda Market. The lively and stirring market is Jerusalem’s largest and is jam-packed with action at all hours of the day. With over 250 vendors, the market is made up of an array of stalls and storefronts selling fresh produce, baked goods, tea, spices, wine, clothes, Judaica, and some of the best food in Jerusalem.

On our tour, a local chef will guide you as you wander through the crowded streets of the market and discover the tastes and smells of Israeli cuisine. Come with a hearty appetite and an open mind; you may find yourself trying halva, a local, sweet sesame dessert, or fresh cheeses and olives. Your expert guide will impart knowledge about the market’s fascinating history and you’ll have a chance to ask questions.

Your experienced chef will help you pick up all the ingredients you will need for your Israeli cooking class. The real fun will begin when you get to try your hand at whipping up some Israeli food. With the chef’s guidance, you’ll learn how to prepare local dishes. In the end, you’ll have a delicious meal to show off your hard work and you’ll get to enjoy it along with a glass of local wine.
