Best Time to Visit

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are absolutely perfect for staying at Moon Valley. The weather’s just right – not too hot, not too cold, just perfect for exploring Jerash’s archaeological wonders. I remember visiting in April, and the temperature was spot-on for wandering around without melting! Summer months can get pretty toasty, though some folks prefer the quieter tourist scene then. Winter brings cooler temps and occasional rain, but room rates tend to drop, and you might catch some gorgeous misty mornings over the ancient ruins.

How to Get There

Getting to Moon Valley’s actually pretty straightforward. From Amman, you can grab a public bus from Tabarbour Station – it’s about an hour’s journey. If you’re feeling fancy, taxis are readily available but’ll cost ya more. The coolest option (and my personal fave) is renting a car, which gives you the freedom to explore the surrounding areas at your own pace. Once you’re in Jerash, the property’s easy to spot thanks to its distinctive design. Just keep an eye out for the signs pointing toward the archaeological site, and you’re basically there.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, here’s the real deal about making the most of your stay. Book ahead during peak season – this place fills up fast, especially in spring and fall. If you’re a light sleeper like me, request a room away from the common areas. The property’s awesome about accommodating special requests if you give ’em a heads up.

Pack some basic cooking supplies if you’re planning to use the kitchen – it’ll save you some serious cash on eating out. The local market’s just a short walk away, and grabbing fresh ingredients makes for a fun cultural experience.

Oh, and here’s a pro tip I learned the hard way: bring a good pair of walking shoes! The archaeological site’s massive, and you’ll want comfortable footwear for all that exploring. Early mornings are golden for photography – the light hits the ancient stones just right, and you’ll beat both the heat and the crowds.

The staff’s a goldmine of local knowledge – don’t be shy about asking for recommendations. They pointed me toward this amazing local restaurant I would’ve never found on my own. And if you’re interested in the archaeological site, they can hook you up with reliable guides who really know their stuff.

Consider staying at least two nights – one day isn’t enough to properly explore Jerash’s ruins and soak in the chill vibe of Moon Valley. Plus, the sunset views from the property are pretty spectacular, especially with a cup of traditional Jordanian tea in hand.
