Siwa is also famously known for its olive oil and dates.

Siwa has very little traffic, which is a combination of donkey cart, bicycles, motorized carts and 4 WD jeeps. You can rent a bike and use it to explore the village. Pollution virtually does not exist since there is no industry in Siwa and everything rely on agriculture products.
