This is a mountain desert climate, dry, pleasant and hot, with sometimes great variations in temperature between the day and the night, or between being in the shade and in the sun. You will need protection against the heat, but also against the cool of the evening, which is sometimes cutting. The weather is of course colder in winter - the rate/rhythm of the seasons is same as in Europe.

For the trips at the end of November, and in December, January, February and the beginning of March, be sure to bring warm clothes - especially for the evening. The days are short - it grows dark at about 5pm (17h). It can freeze during the night in December, January, and February.

Summer trips. You should only undertake them, if you are comfortable with high temperatures. It is best to cover up as much as possible, as the Bedouin do. Scanty dressing is definitely not recommended. The guides normally take full precautions against anyone getting dehydrated or suffering from heat exhaustion. The daily rides are shortened, and will usually take place in the early morning and at the end of the afternoon.
