Traveller notes on Wadi Rum in July
Other months in Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum's forum calls March good for desert hiking — days around 20°C, nights dropping 10-15 degrees cooler. Regulars flag the 'khamsini' spring wind phenomenon as a genuine wildcard, capable of bringing a hot, dusty spell for a day or two before clearing back to calm conditions, and note that while rare, winter weather including rain or even a little snow can still turn up this early in spring.
