When to Avoid Visiting Jordan?

Months to Avoid Reason
June to August (Summer Season) You must avoid Jordan in the summer months due to excess heat. During this time, it will become extremely difficult for you to plan sightseeing and tour around Jordan. You may miss out on some of the best tourist places in Jordan.
December to February (Winter Season) You must also avoid visiting Jordan during the winter as the temperature is extremely low. You will not be able to experience the scenic beauty of Jordan since most of the regions will be covered by snow. Additionally, there is a sharp fall in the temperature during the winter nights, especially in the desert region and the mountains. This will stop you from exploring desert activities, experiencing sleeping under the stars, and camping.
