December Travel Tips
Essential tips for planning your Jordan trip this December.
Serious Winter Clothing
December in Jordan's highlands is genuinely cold — temperatures near freezing at night. Pack a warm winter coat, thermal layers, gloves, and a hat for Amman, Petra, and Wadi Rum evenings.
Waterproof Everything
December is one of Jordan's wettest months. Bring waterproof hiking boots, a quality rain jacket, and waterproof bags for electronics. The Siq at Petra can flood — check conditions daily.
Flash Flood Awareness
December rains can cause flash floods in wadis and the Petra Siq. Always check weather forecasts, heed local warnings, and never enter narrow canyons during or immediately after heavy rainfall.
Christmas Week Premium
Hotel prices spike during Christmas and New Year's week. Book early December for the best value, or reserve Christmas week accommodation months in advance to secure reasonable rates.
Warm Drinks Strategy
Carry a thermos of hot tea or coffee for chilly December explorations. Bedouin tea stalls along Petra's trails sell warming sage tea that is both delicious and essential for maintaining body temperature.
Short Daylight Hours
Sunset comes around 4:30pm in December. Plan outdoor activities early, carry a headlamp for late walks at Petra, and book Petra by Night for a magical candlelit experience on available evenings.
