Petra and Wadi Rum β when to visit Jordan and how to avoid the brutal heat and cold winter
Jordan is a country of diverse microclimates in a compact space ποΈ. Amman and Jerash in the north are cooler and rainier, Petra sits at altitude, Wadi Rum is a scorching desert, and Aqaba on the Red Sea has its own character. Spring and autumn suit all regions perfectly, while summer is challenging for the desert areas and winter can be surprisingly cold.
