When to Go
March to May is peak tourist season in Petra and for good reason. Hiking is at its safest,
the wadis are seamed with prolific pink-flowering oleander and climbs to the 'high places'
are accompanied by spears of flowering aloe.
Mid-October to the end of November, Petra's second high season, offers a last chance
to visit in good weather before rains put some routes off-limits.
Bitterly cold by night and bright blue skies by day, Petra is almost empty in winter al-
lowing for a more intimate engagement with the 'Pink City'.
