The best time to visit Jordan is during Spring and Autumn, when temperatures sit in the high twenties with warm, pleasant days perfect for exploring. During the Spring, travellers can also expect to see Jordan’s beautiful scenery in bloom as mountains and fields are coated with rich greenery and wildflowers. With 90% of Jordan covered by desert, the summer months can be red hot with July and August seeing its hottest temperatures in the forties. While these temperatures can be challenging for those not accustomed to the heat, it is still worth considering a trip at this time if you are not adversely affected by heat, as you will have the nation’s best sites, such as Petra, all to yourself! It is worth remembering that the nights can be cold, though – the sands of Wadi Rum dropping to 4°C in winter.
