Let's discuss the climate of Egypt and Jordan. Egypt is largely desert, with scorching temperatures, especially in the south.
While both countries are known for their hot, dry climates, Egypt's heat is quite consistent, isn't it? The Nile River must offer some relief.
The Nile does provide a cooler area, and surprisingly, the Mediterranean coast experiences milder winters. One could even explore ancient sites in a light jacket.
A light jacket in Egypt? That's unexpected! Jordan offers more climate diversity. The eastern desert contrasts with cooler highlands and the low-lying Dead Sea region.
The Dead Sea is unique! The highlands provide a welcome escape from the desert heat. And the possibility of snow in Jordan is quite surprising.
Snow in the Middle East is unusual. Both countries experience intense summer heat, though.
Indeed. Summer travel necessitates staying near the coast or in the highlands, or adopting a nocturnal exploration schedule.
Nocturnal sightseeing – a novel approach. So, to summarize, both are hot and arid, but Jordan provides more climatic variety.
Precisely. Egypt is consistently sunny, while Jordan offers the occasional unexpected snow day.
Jordan's diverse climate certainly intrigues me. I'll need to pack both sunscreen and snow boots! What's next on our comparison list?
