Spring (late March to late May)\/Autumn (late September to mid-November) is good for trekking. There can be flash floods in the canyons in winter\/spring to April, so summer to early autumn is best for canyoning. The northern mountains have snow in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Wadi Rum, as in the rest of Jordan, spring and autumn are the norm, with pleasant weather. Summer is for masochists who don't need water; winter can be very cold and sometimes wet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cities &amp; Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pella, Ajloun, Amman, Madaba, Karak, Dana, Wadi Musa, Wadi Rum village, Aqaba<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Wadi Rum, Aqaba is the closest city.
