When to go à PETRA ?

Jordan's climate is characterized by strong sunshine, but varies from one region of the country to another: Petra being located in the south of the country, it is a desert regime that prevails there. The thermal amplitude between day and night is even impressive, and Petra's temperature varies by around 15°C (in July, the 35°C during the day gives way to a night at 20°C). The suffocating weather was aside, the weather in Petra is quite pleasant.

When to go to Petra? The city of the ancient Nabatean kingdom is located in the valleys of southwestern Jordan, not far from the desert. Temperatures reach their peak in the middle of summer, which is why spring or autumn is the best time to go there, as these periods correspond to the high tourist seasons in Jordan, due to a hot but bearable weather. Of course, this has an impact on the price of accommodation, so the best time to go to Petra for those who are thrifty is most certainly winter, with temperatures around 15°C during the day. However, nights are very cool at this time of the year, so it is more than advisable to bring warm clothes. When to go to Petra? The best consensus is certainly around March-April and October-November.
