Best time to travel Jordan: When to travel to Jordan?

Table of Contents

You ask yourself: What is the best time to visit Jordan? We have the answer for you! Jordan is a country that is easy to visit all year round. It has a dry desert climate throughout the year, but there are still months that are ideal for a visit. Trip to Jordan are more recommendable than others.

Although it is a rather small country, there are many different climatic zones there, which is mainly due to different altitudes. In general, it can be said that the country forms a climatic transition zone between the dry desert climate and the Mediterranean climate of the Mediterranean region.

But let's take a look together at the climate throughout the year and the best time to travel for the different regions.

Climate and weather

Generally speaking, April, May, October and November are the most pleasant months for a Jordan trip.

In summer, it gets very hot in many areas, with temperatures sometimes exceeding the 40 degree mark.

In winter, however, it can get quite fresh around Amman, in Petra and in Wadi Rum, so you should pack a thick jacket for this region, especially between December and February. Nevertheless, daytime temperatures rarely drop below 10 degrees even in winter.

The west of the country is characterized by warm, dry summers and mild but humid winters. Temperatures here vary between 13 and 33 degrees during the year, while most of the rain falls between November and March.

The Red Sea region has dry summer months and mild, sunny winter months. The annual temperatures here range between 20 and 38 degrees.

In the east and south of the country you can already find desert climate with very high temperature differences between day and night, especially in midsummer it can be extremely hot.

The best time to travel to the east and south

For the regions in the east and south of Jordan, the best time to travel is from March to October. In the summer months, the thermometer likes to rise above 40 degrees, otherwise the temperatures are perfect for a planned exploration tour of the ancient rock city. Since the continental desert climate prevails in this region, you should not be surprised about the temperature differences between day and night.

To spend a beach vacation on the Red Sea, it is best to travel in the summer. In the months between May and September you can enjoy temperatures between 30 and 40 degrees and do not have to worry about rain. Between May and September it almost never rains.

The best time to travel to the north

Around the capital Amman in the north there is a Mediterranean climate, which brings dry, warm summers and mild but humid winters.

Best season for the northern region goes from April to November. Little rain, T-shirt weather and many green landscapes offer the best conditions for a city trip or a hiking vacation.

The best time to travel to the Dead Sea

In the eastern part of the country, right on the border with Israel, is the famous Dead Sea. The best time to visit is between September and May. Here, pleasantly warm temperatures prevail, while in the summer months there can be enormous heat.
