Four-hour Saudi cooking class sold to cruise passengers through the Norwegian Cruise Line excursion desk; not bookable independently.
Cruise visitors at Jeddah Islamic Port can book the Saudi cooking class offered as a shore excursion (code JED_12 on the Norwegian Cruise Line site). The class lasts about four hours, is aimed at cruise passengers, and is likely to feature a traditional dish such as jareesh, with the menu depending on the season. Booking and pricing are only through the cruise line, so independent visitors cannot use it. Independent travellers can book home-hosted Hijazi cooking and lunch experiences on Nusuk (from SAR 296, about USD 79) or byFood, described in the cooking class section.
