Knafe-making workshop at Fauzi Azar Inn

Knafe is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made with shredded filo pastries or fine semolina dough that is soaked in sweet, sugar-based syrup. It is typically layered with cheese, or with other ingredients such as clotted cream or nuts, depending on the region. If just the description of the dish already makes your mouth water, don't miss the opportunity to learn how to make knafe in the traditional way in the kitchen of Fauzar Inn. Once you're done, you can eat in the spacious living room decorated with meticulous ceiling paintings from the 18th century in the old hostel in the Old City.
