Great time to visit
December wraps up the year with perfect desert weather. Warm sunny days and crisp nights make every activity pleasant. This is Siwa showing off what a proper oasis should feel like.
Weather
December brings classic winter desert perfection with 24°C days and surprisingly cold 8°C nights. The sun feels warm and welcoming rather than aggressive. Occasional light winds keep the air fresh and clear.

All Months
October through March offers perfect weather - warm days around 25°C and cool nights that actually require a jacket. December and January see the most visitors, but Siwa never feels crowded.
Avoid summer completely. July temperatures hit 45°C, and the desert becomes genuinely dangerous during midday. Even locals stay indoors from noon to 4 PM.
Ramadan brings a special atmosphere as the entire oasis observes the fast together. But restaurant hours get unpredictable, and some attractions close early. Spring brings wildflowers to the desert after rare rains - a magical sight if you're lucky.
