The listing says transport and entrance fees are included, yet also shows food and beverages as excluded, so visitors should confirm with the operator what the ticket price covers before booking. The price was not shown on the cached page. It is the closest thing to an organised food experience in the city, and suits families who want a seated introduction to Madinah cooking rather than a farm visit.
