Planning a trip to Jordan during late autumn or winter? While this season offers pleasant daytime temperatures and significantly fewer crowds at iconic sites like Petra and Jerash, it also comes with unique weather conditions that every traveler should prepare for.
From chilly desert nights in Wadi Rum to rainy days in the northern highlands, here is your practical guide to enjoying a safe and comfortable trip to Jordan during the cooler months.
What is the Weather Like in Jordan During Cooler Months?
Jordan’s weather varies greatly by region and elevation:
- Amman & Petra: Located at high altitudes, temperatures can drop significantly, especially in the evening. Crisp breezes and occasional rainfall are common.
- Dead Sea & Aqaba: Enjoy warm, sun-filled days with comfortable temperatures perfect for swimming and relaxation.
- Wadi Rum: Warm and sunny during the daytime, but temperatures often plunge near freezing once the sun sets.
What to Pack for Your Trip
To stay comfortable throughout your itinerary, pack in layers:
- Warm Outerwear: A windproof jacket, lightweight thermal layers, and a warm fleece for cool evenings.
- Comfortable Footwear: Sturdy, waterproof walking shoes or boots for navigating uneven terrain in Petra.
- Sun Protection: Sunglasses and sunscreen are still essential, as the desert sun remains bright even in winter.
- Modest Clothing: Long pants and long-sleeved tops keep you warm.
