For those of you who don’t live in Jordan, (and even those who do!) there are so many aspects about this magical place that you might not know about.
Jordan is known for its pleasant weather and a sunny weather throughout the year. Spring in Jordan is known for its beautiful wild flowers and green land. Summer is sunny and summer nights are beautiful. And winter is the perfect time to visit Aqaba or the Dead Sea where it is a beat warmer. But we can easily say that Jordan is suitable for visiting all year round.
