Visiting Jordan in March

In March the country emerges from the chilly temperatures of winter, and the rainiest time of year is over. As this is only the start of spring the sites are still relatively quiet. However, nights in the desert can be quite cold still.

Visiting Jordan in April - May

Wildflowers coat the valleys and even the desert from April through to early June, creating a kaleidoscope of colour across the country. Temperatures are warm but not too hot and, thanks to winter's rain, the valleys and forests are lush. This is one of the most popular times to visit Jordan.

Visiting Jordan in June - August

The heat increases over the summer months from June to August, so if you plan on visiting during this time we advise taking lots of water and finding shade often. However, this is dry heat rather than being humid, so if you don't mind the high temperatures it can still be comfortable. As this is the low season, hotels tend to decrease their rates accordingly.

Events & Festivals

• Jerash Festival: A celebration of Jordanian arts, culture, literature, food, and music. This is a large and lively event, and often includes optional seminars and workshops in addition to the main celebrations taking place in Jerash.
• The dark skies of the desert: At this time of year, the skies provide the perfect canvas for watching the Perseid meteor shower, which occurs annually, and can bee seen in Wadi Rum.

Visiting Jordan in September

Although still a summer month, toward the end of September temperatures do start to cool off slightly.

Visiting Jordan in October - November

Autumn isn't always a particularly distinct season in Jordan, although it falls roughly from the end of September through to the end of November. Temperatures have cooled from the heat of summer but are not yet into the depths of the winter chill, and there is often a bit of rain around mid-October which provides sustenance to the ground after a dry few months, creating green landscapes once again. This is a very pleasant time to visit Jordan.

Visiting Jordan in December

December is the start of the winter season in Jordan, with temperatures plummeting and rain and snow often falling throughout the country. However, this is a quiet time to visit, so sites may be empty.
