All Months
April through May and September through November are your sweet spots. Summer hits 40°C (104°F) regularly, and the city bakes. Winter drops to freezing, and heating in many buildings is hit-or-miss. Spring brings apricot blossoms and perfect weather for walking. Fall means clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Ramadan affects restaurant hours and alcohol availability, so check dates before booking. The city empties out in August as locals escape to the mountains – restaurants close, attractions run limited hours. But if you can handle the heat, hotel prices drop significantly.
