In this report, we take you on a tour of tourism in Jordan and the appropriate time to visit:
You are free to travel to Jordan at any time of the year because it is characterized by four climate zones. The Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea have a particularly hot climate, and Aqaba has a warm climate almost all year round as it is located near the Red Sea with its tropical waters.
1- Amman
Although Amman, the capital of Jordan, is not distinguished by its artistic historical richness, it preserves in its old town traces of ancient Greek Philadelphia and buildings from the Roman era such as the theatre, the Temple of Hercules, the citadel, and a church from the Byzantine era.
Amman is one of the best tourist destinations in Jordan, as it is inhabited by a group of Jordanian residents. It has many tourist attractions and shopping places, as it is the modern, cosmopolitan face of the country.
2- Wadi Rum desert
Located 4 hours south of Amman, Wadi Rum is arguably one of the most stunning desert landscapes in the Middle East.
You can tour the desert through trips organized by local Bedouins, which provides you with spending a full day in the desert through camping, and practicing sports such as horse riding, climbing, astronomical observation, and hiking to enjoy the monuments from the Nabataean era.

Aqaba is approximately 4 hours by road from Amman and just over an hour from the Wadi Rum desert.
This beautiful city located on the Red Sea includes a group of wonderful coral reefs and calm tropical waters with few tides or waves. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in Jordan for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts.
One of the most important tourist places in Jordan, especially in the city of Aqaba, is the Japanese Gardens, which are among the best diving places.
