Located in the city of Madaba, known as the "City of Mosaics," the Madaba Museum is an essential stop for those interested in Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics as well as the region's storied history. To fully appreciate the museum and its surroundings, the best time to visit is during the spring months of March through May. During this period, the weather is pleasantly mild, with average temperatures ranging around 20°C (68°F). The comfortable conditions are perfect for walking through the museum's displays, which are housed in several old Madaba residences, and for exploring other historical sites in the city.
Fall, specifically from September to November, is another great time to visit Madaba Museum. The weather starts to cool down from the summer heat, offering an agreeable climate with fewer crowds, giving you a more serene experience. However, visiting during the peak tourist seasons of spring and fall means you might encounter more tourists, so plan your visit early in the day to avoid the busiest times. No matter when you choose to go, be sure to check the museum’s opening hours as they can change seasonally, and you might encounter shorter opening times during the winter or religious holidays.
