Israel and Jordan Tours

Best time to visit Israel and Jordan

• Fall / Autumn 2026

  Autumn touring in Israel and Jordan hits its sweet spot during September and October, with pleasant temperatures hovering in the mid-20s. Our 12-14 day journeys flow from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem through Nazareth's historic quarters, before crossing into Jordan's archaeological treasures. The routes connect naturally - from floating in the Dead Sea to watching dawn light wash over Petra's rose-colored Treasury. These longer formats allow proper time in Jerusalem's religious quarters, and give you peaceful nights under the stars at Bedouin desert camps in Wadi Rum. Our guests appreciate having two full days to explore Jerusalem during autumn, when milder weather makes walking the Via Dolorosa and visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre more enjoyable. The cultural elements shine through dinners with local families, wandering old city markets as golden evening light filters through, and discovering ancient stories. You'll find fewer visitors at important sites like Masada fortress, Capernaum and the Dead Sea, where temperatures stay perfect for that legendary float experience.

• Winter 2026 / 2027

  Winter tours through Israel and Jordan run between 10 and 17 days, hitting prime archaeological sites when the weather cooperates nicely. The longer routes give you proper time at Jerusalem's Old City religious sites before heading to Petra's rock-carved monuments. Our groups love having Masada almost to themselves on winter mornings - you get clear Judean Desert views from the cable car going up. The Dead Sea stays pleasant for floating year-round, and in Wadi Rum the Bedouin camps keep everyone cozy with extra blankets during the cool desert nights. You'll also find fewer people at Capernaum, Nazareth and also Mount Nebo during winter months.

  Our most popular Israel-Jordan combinations run 12-14 days in spring when conditions are just right. These tours start either in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, then move through Nazareth and Galilee before crossing to Jordan. You'll catch wildflowers blooming around ancient Jerash and along the King's Highway on your way to Petra. The guides know exactly when to arrive at Petra early so you can photograph the Treasury in gentle morning light. Our travelers tell us they really like how these trips mix guided tours with free time to wander. The spring evenings at our Bedouin desert camps are perfect for watching the stars come out.

  Summer calls for smart planning with early starts to dodge the heat. Our 10-12 day summer routes include plenty of cooling off spots - there's the Dead Sea float plus beach time in Aqaba and good pools at carefully picked hotels. We time the Roman site visits at Caesarea and Jerash for cooler hours and stick to shaded paths through Jerusalem's Old City quarters. Getting between Jordan's sites means air-conditioned transport, though walking Petra needs proper shoes and sun cover. Having guides who know exactly when to duck into museums during the hottest afternoon hours makes all the difference according to our customers.
