The optimal time to make a trip to the Dead Sea in Jordan is during the spring months, which span from March to May. During this period, the weather is mild and pleasant, with temperatures averaging between 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F), which is ideal for floating in the saline waters and exploring the surrounding attractions without the extreme heat typical of the summer months. Additionally, the spring brings with it a bloom of wildflowers in the region, adding to the area's natural beauty. The sun is less intense than in summer, but it still provides enough warmth for sunbathing and enjoying the beach. It's worth noting that while the water can be cooler in the spring, it is still comfortable for most visitors.
Alternatively, autumn, which stretches from September to November, is another great time for a visit. Similar to spring, the temperatures during this season are moderate, ranging from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F), and the crowds are significantly less, giving you more space and quiet to enjoy the serene environment. However, if you are interested in water activities such as swimming or floating in the Dead Sea, it's worth noting that the water temperatures begin to drop as winter approaches. Nevertheless, the off-peak season rates for accommodation and services might be more appealing during this time, making it a cost-effective period for travel.
