Reasons To
Visit Jordan

  • Ancient Ruins

    Petra is the most famous of Jordan's historic ruins, but it is by no means the only one. Ummayad palaces, Graeco-Roman cities, ancient churches and crusader castles are found throughout the country and are likely to form the backbone of your time in Jordan.

  • Classical History

    Jerash is the Classical jewel in Jordan's crown but the Greeks and Romans left their traces across the country, sometimes leaving behind entire cities, like Umm Qais, and sometimes modifying existing settlements, as with the colonnaded street in Petra.

    Classical History
  • Desert

    It was T.E. Lawrence who brought Wadi Rum to public attention, and his description of the desert region as "vast, echoing and godlike" sums it up perfectly. The red sand and towering sandstone mountains make this a deservedly popular destination.

  • Nature Reserves

    Jordan is right at the forefront of conservation in the Middle East, and her reserves don't just preserve rare wildlife, like the ibex, but also remarkable scenery and traditional ways of life. The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature runs five main reserves in Jordan, such as the Dana Nature Reserve.

  • UNESCO World Heritage Sites

    Petra is one of the most famous UNESCO world heritage sites and one of the places everyone wants to visit once in their life. The other heritage site you may visit in Jordan is Qasr Al-Amra, protected by UNESCO because of its rich and vivid frescoes dating to the Umayyad period (the eight century AD).

  • Wadis

    Carving down from the desert plateau to the depths of the Dead Sea and Rift Valley, Jordan's wadis are a haven for the more adventurous, whether you choose to hike down Wadi Feynan to spend time at the Ecolodge there, or to tackle the deep pools and boulder chokes of the wet descent of Wadi Mujib.

Climate data provided by Weather2Travel.com

Jordan has a typically Middle Eastern climate in which summers are very hot, with temperatures reaching up into the forties celsius. If you are not adversely affected by heat it is still worth considering a trip at this time as you will have sights like Petra almost to yourself.

Spring and autumn are the best times to travel as the days are warm, with temperatures into the high twenties celsius with cool nights.

Winters can be surprisingly harsh: Petra has sometimes experienced snow, and the nights get cold especially in the desert regions. Winter is also when the majority of the rain falls, but showers tend to be short and sharp.
