Jordan truly shines during its shoulder seasons: spring (March, April, May) and autumn (September, October, November). These months offer pleasant temperatures perfect for exploring ancient sites like Petra and the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Rum. Naturally, this also makes them the high season, when demand for accommodation and popular tours is at its peak, leading to higher prices across the board.
Conversely, the scorching summer months of July and August represent the low season, with fewer visitors due to extreme heat. While you might find some relief in accommodation prices, activities will be challenging. Winters, from December to February, are cool and can be wet, especially in the north, but offer a unique, less crowded experience, often with more budget-friendly options for those willing to brave the chill.
Planning your trip around these seasonal shifts is crucial for managing your budget. Booking accommodation and tours well in advance for high season is recommended, while travelers seeking deals might find them during the quieter, more extreme weather periods.
