The best time to visit Jordan is spring, from March to May, and autumn, from September to November, when the weather is mild and pleasant across the country.\n\nIn spring, the desert blooms with wildflowers, and temperatures are comfortable for hiking in Petra and Wadi Rum. Autumn is equally pleasant, with warm days and cool nights. These are also the busiest seasons, so book ahead.\n\nSummer, from June to August, is very hot, especially in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba, but the highlands of Amman are milder. Winter, from December to February, is cool and can bring rain and even snow in the highlands, but it is a quiet and affordable time to visit.\n\nFor the best balance of weather and crowds, spring and autumn are ideal.
