Things to know

Important notes

👗 Respect local customs

Siwa has its own traditions and customs. When visiting the town center and local communities, modest clothing is recommended. Swimwear is best kept for the appropriate swimming areas.

🧴 Bring sunscreen & a towel

A towel is useful for the salt lakes and swimming activities, while sunscreen is essential due to Siwa's strong desert sun.

💵 Bring cash

Many local shops and businesses in Siwa do not accept card payments, so carrying some Egyptian pounds is recommended.
