  • Do not plan long walking tours in summer afternoons.
  • New Year desert camps can add mandatory supplements.
  • Winter nights in the desert can feel cold; carry layers.

Winter is best for most travelers

The city is easier to walk, desert rides are more comfortable, and overnight camping feels more pleasant from October to February.

Peak season needs earlier decisions

December and New Year bring higher camp and hotel demand. Verify prices and inclusions before paying a surge rate.

Summer is possible but not casual

If you visit in April to June, build the itinerary around sunrise, sunset, shade, hydration, and rest. Do not copy a winter itinerary.
