A good time to visit Amman is from March to May (spring), or from September to November (autumn). This is when the weather is pleasant and light. You might find it too hot or too cold if you go any other time of the year. With such favourable conditions, however, you will encounter a high volume of tourists, less availability and high hotel costs. From June to August (summer), the temperatures reach the low 30s. During the winter (December – February), the cold can be bearable, but may reach lower than 0, and you might experience days when the air is filled with haze. These two periods will mean a lower volume of tourists, more availability and possibly cheaper hotel rates, making them the best time to visit.
