Siwa Oasis in March
Great time to visit
March marks the end of perfect season but it's still fantastic. Days are getting warm but not oppressive. You'll have comfortable exploring weather without the brutal summer heat.
Weather
March sees temperatures climbing to a comfortable 27°C during the day with nights warming to around 11°C. The weather remains dry and stable with occasional light winds stirring up the sand. Still practically no rainfall.

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.
