How to reach Siwa
Reaching Siwa is an adventure in itself, featuring stunning landscapes and cultural encounters along the way.

Alternatively, a direct flight to Marsa Matrouh, which is about 3 hours from Siwa, can make the journey feel even more seamless. Regular buses and private transfers are available to ensure a comfortable ride through Egypt’s captivating terrain.
Best time to visit Siwa
The ideal time to visit Siwa is during the cooler months, from October to April, when temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C during the day, providing perfect weather for exploring the surroundings. In the summer, temperatures can soar above 40°C, making outdoor activities less enjoyable. Therefore, visiting in autumn or spring allows you to experience the oasis at its most pleasant, with clear skies and mild breezes.
