Best time to travel to Jordan
Jordan is a stunning destination with a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty. The best time to visit Jordan is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months.
During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for exploring the country's many attractions.
In spring, the temperatures range from 15° to 25°, allowing you to comfortably visit iconic sites such as Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The ancient city of Petra, with its rose-red rock-cut architecture, is particularly enchanting in the soft spring light.
Autumn also offers favorable weather conditions, with temperatures ranging from 20° to 30°. This is an excellent time to visit the Dead Sea, where you can float effortlessly in its mineral-rich waters.
The weather is also perfect for exploring Wadi Rum, the dramatic desert landscape known for its stunning rock formations and starry night skies.
Amman, the capital city, is pleasant during these seasons as well, with temperatures hovering around 20°. You can explore its Roman ruins, vibrant souks, and modern cafes without the discomfort of extreme heat.
Winter (December to February) can be quite chilly, especially in the highlands, with temperatures dropping to around 5°. Summer (June to August) can be extremely hot, with temperatures soaring to 40°, making outdoor activities less enjoyable.
Overall, spring and autumn are the best times to experience Jordan's diverse landscapes and historical treasures in comfortable weather conditions.
