The best time to visit Jordan is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when temperatures are mild and comfortable for sightseeing. Spring offers wildflowers in bloom, while autumn provides perfect weather for desert adventures.

We recommend at least 5-7 days to see Jordan's highlights. A typical itinerary includes 2 days in Petra, 1 night in Wadi Rum, 1 day at the Dead Sea, and 1-2 days exploring Amman and Jerash. For a comprehensive experience including Aqaba and lesser-known sites, plan for 10-12 days.

## Are Jordan tours safe for solo travelers?

Yes, Jordan is one of the safest destinations in the Middle East. The country has a low crime rate, and Jordanians are known for their hospitality toward tourists.
