The best time to visit Qalat-As-Sanan is during the spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.
During these months, you'll find comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like visiting the archaeological sites and exploring the surrounding countryside. The spring brings blooming wildflowers, while autumn offers mild, clear days. This is superb for couples or solo travellers who enjoy walking and discovering historical locations without the intense heat of summer.
If you plan to visit in July or August, be prepared for much hotter temperatures, often exceeding 30°C. While all sites remain open, it's advisable to plan your outdoor excursions for early mornings or late afternoons to avoid the midday sun. This period might suit those who prefer warmer weather and don't mind a more relaxed pace of sightseeing.
Winter (November to March) can be cooler and wetter, with temperatures sometimes dropping to 5°C, especially at night. However, it's a quieter time to visit, and the lush winter landscapes can be quite beautiful.
