When to travel Jordan to save more
Timing your trip wisely can lead to serious savings. The best windows for budget travel are March to May and September to early November, when the weather is comfortably mild, but tourist crowds are lighter than peak months. These shoulder seasons mean lower hotel rates, cheaper flights, and more breathing room at iconic sites. Coastal destinations like Aqaba remain warm and pleasant even in winter, making December to February another low-cost option—just pack a sweater for chilly evenings. Avoiding the summer high season (June to August) helps you dodge inflated prices and harsh desert heat. For more seasonal insights, check out the best time to visit Jordan.
