When to go to Jordan?

There are lots of walking treks possible in the region of Petra and in Wadi Rum. You can also go climbing. Sleeping in the desert at night is an extraordinary experience. The next day you can go to the south of the port of Aqaba, which is one of the world's most beautiful diving sites. You'll see fish and coral that are like nowhere else... It's best to go in spring or autumn, when the temperatures are most comfortable. In summer you will be much too hot and find it hard to make an effort. Winter is too cold and has too many rainy days. 

It's very hot on the King's Highway in the summer. It's better to go there in spring or autumn, because it rains a lot more from November to March. Travel along the King's Highway, an ancient route which has seen many different travellers, towards the Wadi Mujib gorge, and along the way you can look at the perfectly peaceful landscape of hills and olive trees. Once you enter the Wadi Mujib gorge you will be surrounded by avenues of poplars and fig trees, and market towns. Don't miss the mosaics at Madaba, or the fortresses of Kerak and Shobak.

I advise you to go to Amman or the north of Jordan in spring or in autumn: the temperatures are very pleasant. If you don't mind the heat, you can also go during the summer. In winter, the temperatures are colder, there is more rain, and it can even snow. Visit Amman, which is both modern and old, has a very active cultural life, and lots of fashionable bars and cafes in the west. Discover its Roman theatre and visit the national museum, before you leave to go to the northern mountains. You will be amazed at the archaeological sites of Gadara, Pella, and Jerash.
