Best time to visit
Winter brings mild weather (15–25°C), but tourism is non-existent due to conflict. Prices for any available services remain artificially inflated due to import blockade and fuel scarcity.
Spring and early autumn are moderately warm. No seasonal tourism variation exists; security and humanitarian crisis dominate all considerations.
Summer heat exceeds 35°C and increases electricity demand when supply is already critical. Fewer aid workers travel; services further degrade. No tourist season.
