The best time to visit Egypt and Jordan

The best time to visit Egypt and Jordan is during the cooler months of October to April when temperatures are milder, making sightseeing more comfortable. This period also aligns with the peak tourist season, offering clear skies and ideal conditions for exploring ancient ruins, such as the Pyramids of Giza and Petra. However, for those seeking fewer crowds and lower prices, the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) provide a balance between favourable weather and fewer tourists. Summer (June to August) can be scorching in both countries but offers fewer crowds and discounted rates.
