Why You Should Take a Flight to Jordan

With a reputation for hospitality and dotted with Unesco World Heritage Sites, Jordan is an oasis of calm in a troubled region. Discover lost cities, desert landscapes and traditional lifestyles in this quintessential Middle Eastern country.

When to Book Flights to Jordan

Jordan is generally considered a year-round destination but even for a small country there can be quite a big variation in weather. At some points of year, you can play in the snow in the mountains and top up your tan on the Red Sea on the same day.

Spring is probably the best time to visit, with comfortable temperatures, wildflowers and lush landscapes. Summers can be scorching and winters chilly, especially in the mountains.

Prices can vary but you can still find cheap flights to Jordan even in the spring high season.
