The best time to visit is in spring from May until the end of June, and in autumn from September until November. The weather is mild and in April, the desert blooms shortly. Autumn is harvest time, and the markets are full of fresh fruit. If trekking interests you, the summer months of July and August is a better time to visit; other times during the year the weather is so random and there can be snow from Christmas to February. You may wish to remain in the mountains to stay cool, as the rest of the country will be sizzling at this time. Nevertheless, remember, at the same time as the mountains are pleasantly cool in summer, they are freezing in winter.
