The ancient city of Jerash is home to one of the most well-preserved Roman ruins in the Middle East, including the famous Cardo Maximus, the city's main thoroughfare. Visiting this historic site is best done during the spring months of March to May when the weather is most favorable. During this period, temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 18 to 24 degrees Celsius (64 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit), which makes for pleasant exploration of the archaeological delights without the extreme heat that comes later in the year. Moreover, spring brings the added bonus of lush green landscapes and blooming wildflowers, enhancing the photogenic qualities of the ancient colonnaded road.
Alternatively, the autumn months of September to November also provide an excellent window for a visit, as the scorching summer heat subsides and the visitor numbers dwindle. The cool breeze and milder temperatures during these months allow for extended periods of wandering among the ruins without discomfort. This period also avoids the peak tourist season, offering a more serene experience and the opportunity to admire the grandeur of Cardo Maximus with fewer distractions. Keep in mind though, that the days are shorter and you might find some chilly winds towards the later part of November, so it's advisable to pack a light jacket for the evenings.
