Best Time to Visit Israel and Jordan
The best time to visit Israel is spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), when the weather is warm but not extreme across Jerusalem, the Dead Sea and Petra. Summer works for beaches and the Red Sea, and winter is ideal for Eilat, though Jerusalem and the north can be cold and wet.
