After Petra we went for dinner in a cave. There were lots of caves with lights which were very pretty.
This was the cave we ate in. It was carved out 2000 years ago as a burial chamber.
For dinner we had maqluba, which means upside down. Because it is made upside down in the pot and then dumped over to serve.
A chicken is put on the bottom of the pot cut into quarters. This was covered with eggplant and potato cut into quarter inch slices, and then 2.5kg of rice. And is made with 1.5 spoons magruba seasoning from Saudi Arabia, which includes sage, cardamom, nutmeg and maybe thyme and tumeric and salt and pepper.
They sprinkled fresh parsley on top after flipping.
There were some other saucy things to eat with pitas.
And desert.
And after dinner there was dancing.
