The most recommended month is "April"

April is the most recommended time to travel to Jordan. The climate is very comfortable throughout the country, allowing you to fully enjoy the major tourist sites such as the capital Amman, Petra, the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum. The daytime temperatures are around 20-25 degrees, and the humidity is low, making it an ideal environment for outdoor sightseeing. In addition, spring flowers begin to bloom all at once, especially in the northern hills, where wild anemones, irises, and other flowers bloom, adding color to the desolate landscape. In addition, there are still fewer visitors than during the peak tourist season, and the area is relatively less crowded. In the desert areas, it is not too cold at night, making it a good place for camping and stargazing. For those who want to enjoy active sightseeing, this month is an ideal month with a good balance of climate, scenery, and crowds.

The least recommended month is "August"

August is one of the least suitable months for traveling to Jordan. Daytime temperatures can exceed 40 degrees in some areas, and the perceived temperature is even higher in Wadi Rum and Aqaba in the south. The intense sunlight and dry air make it difficult to spend long periods of time outdoors, and activities such as visiting ruins and hiking are particularly restricted. The risk of heatstroke and dehydration also increases, making this a particularly difficult time for elderly people and those traveling with children. While tourist facilities and hotels are empty, there are many situations where you have to spend the day indoors, which may reduce your satisfaction with your trip. Sightseeing is possible if you limit it to a short time in the morning and evening, but overall it is not a recommended time in terms of comfort and safety.
