In the first half of the year, the peak season usually starts in mid February and continues till the end of May. It starts again in September and continues till the end of November. These are the times where the weather is at its best, but it is worth noting that weather patterns are inconsistent, so it is possible to have perfect weather throughout the year, as most regions record less than 30 days of rain per year. The summer is hot, but nowhere as hot as the gulf countries, so is perfectly bearable.
Absolutely, Jordan has a very low crime rate, and given that tourism is the main source of income for Jordan, security is excellent at all hotels and tourist sites.

According to the Economist, Jordan’s capital city of Amman ranked #29 in the world in the list of cities with the highest costs of living. Jordan is one of the most expensive countries in the region compared to locals’ income. The average daily price for travelling in Jordan is 67 USD per person, the average price for one-day meals is 16 USD, and the average price for hotel accommodation is 58 USD per person. Alcohol is particularly expensive. That said, the country offers unique experiences, has a boutique feel to it and is well worth what you pay for it.
Yes, indeed! Jordan is one of the best places for hiking and trekking adventures. Some places are better suited to winter hiking than others, while the same is true for summer hiking. For example, the Siq trail in Wadi Mujib is open from April till October, and cannot be undertaken during the rainy winter months, as it is prone to flash flooding.
Jordan & Israel share three border-crossing points; Allenby Bridge, Sheikh Hussein Bridge, or Arava border crossing. There are also regular flights between Amman and Tel Aviv airports, which are a very short flight from each other.
