For others, it evokes a longing for something more. Amman is a fun, evocative and unique city that is well worth diving into in its entirety.

It is best to go on an Amman holiday between the months of March and June and from then on between October and December. These are the periods during which there is the lowest rainfall and the temperatures are manageable. Temperatures soar between June and September and the relentless heat can be off putting to unaccustomed locals.

Amman is a city that is largely traversed by car so the temperature needn’t be an issue if you plan to explore via air conditioned vehicle. Jordan is itself is around 90% desert with all that this implies; summers in Jordan are a sizzling, scorching affair surprisingly plagued by cold nights. Ideally, it is best to visit Amman during its comfortable seasons when rainfall is lower and heat is not as much of an issue.
