Following the latest update to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) travel advice for Jordan, many travellers may be taking a fresh look at Jordan holidays.
While Jordan is a fascinating destination year-round, many travellers choose to visit during the cooler months, when conditions are ideal for exploring the country’s extraordinary landscapes, ancient sites and vibrant cities.
What does the latest FCDO update mean?
The FCDO has withdrawn its previous advice against all but essential travel to Jordan, while continuing to advise against travel within 3km of the Syrian border.
As with any destination, travellers should continue to consult the latest official advice before departure, but the update is a positive development for those considering holidays in Jordan in the coming months.
When is the best time to visit Jordan?
Jordan’s summer months can bring high temperatures, particularly in desert regions and near Petra.
The cooler months offer some of the most comfortable conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activities, making them an ideal time to experience Jordan’s many highlights.
Whether exploring ancient archaeological sites, spending a night beneath the stars in Wadi Rum, or floating in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, this is one of the most rewarding times to discover Jordan.
Discover the highlights of Jordan
