March – May

Spring: wildflowers in the north, warm days in Petra and Wadi Rum, and the most comfortable hiking weather.

September – November

Autumn mirrors spring — clear skies and golden desert light without summer’s heat.

December – February

Cool and quiet. Petra with barely a crowd; pack layers for cold desert nights at camp.

Things to experience

Know before you go

Culture & flavour

Bedouin hospitality

“Ahlan wa sahlan” — you will hear it everywhere, usually with sweet tea attached. Accepting a glass is the polite start to any conversation, souk bargaining included.

Mansaf & maqluba

Jordan’s national dish is mansaf — lamb in fermented yoghurt over rice, eaten by hand from a shared platter on special occasions. Say yes.

Where to stay

Styles that suit

Bedouin bubble camps

Dome tents with desert panoramas.

Dead Sea spa resorts

Infinity pools above the salt.
