O que acontece em Petra (Wadi Musa), Jordânia, ao longo do ano

Tranquilo — férias escolares em 6 dos países que mais mandam visitantes, um dos piores meses em clima

• Abertura

  Petra by Night

  1 Jan – 31 DezReserve cedo

  The Siq and the Treasury are lit by candle bags five evenings a week, Sunday to Thursday, ticketed separately from the day pass and not included in it. It runs to a fixed weekly schedule and is cancelled in bad weather. Fonte ↗

• Regra

  Jordan Pass and the visa waiver

  1 Jan – 31 Dez

  Buying the pass before you land waives the tourist visa fee and covers multi-day entry to the site, provided you stay in the country at least two whole nights. Bought after arrival it does none of that. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Snow and winter closures

  5 Jan – 28 Fev · normalmenteFrio extremoFechamentos

  Wadi Musa sits high enough to take snow in some winters, most recently in February 2024, which can shut the site for a day or two while the Siq and the Monastery steps are icy. Hotels here are built for heat, so a cold snap is felt indoors as well. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Ramadan in Wadi Musa

  18 Fev – 19 MarRamadã e EidFechamentos

  The site stays open but the town above it does not: kitchens shut through the day, opening hours shorten, and the guides and horse handlers work a fasting shift. Everything returns at sunset. Fonte ↗

  Spring trail season

  1 Mar – 15 MaiReserve cedo

  The Dana-to-Petra leg of the Jordan Trail and the back routes into the site work best between March and mid-May, when the wadis are dry and the days are long enough for a thirty-kilometre stage. Village homestays fill fast. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Khamsin dust days

  15 Mar – 31 Mai · normalmenteTemporada de poeira

  Hot southerly winds pull desert dust over the escarpment for a few days at a stretch in spring, turning the rock flat brown and the light useless for photographs. They pass through in two or three days. Fonte ↗

  Eid al-Adha brings a public holiday of four days or more. Offices and many shops close for the first days, and Jordanian families and visitors from neighbouring countries take trips, so hotels and camps at the main sights fill and rates rise. Fonte ↗

  Bare rock in high summer

  1 Jun – 10 SetCalor extremo

  There is almost no shade past the Siq, and the climbs to the Monastery and the High Place of Sacrifice are unmanageable after about ten in the morning. Everyone who is here is at the gate for the six o'clock opening.

  Petra Desert Marathon

  28 Ago – 12 Set · normalmenteEvento esportivoLotadoReserve cedo

  A road and desert course starting from the site on the first Saturday of September. Wadi Musa's small hotel stock is taken over for the weekend, so it is either the reason to come or the weekend to avoid. Fonte ↗

  The second walking window, once the heat breaks and before the winter rain: the same trail sections reopen in practice and the Wadi Mujib water route is still running into October. Fonte ↗

  Winter opening hours

  From early October the site closes in the late afternoon rather than at six, which takes the Monastery off the table for anyone arriving after lunch. Check the published hours for the day you go; they shift with the season change. Fonte ↗

  The Siq is a drain for a wide catchment, and after heavy rain on the plateau the authority evacuates the site with little warning. It happens most winters and has cost lives; the dams above the entrance are there for a reason. Fonte ↗
