It's getting hot in here! But please don't take off your clothes. :) Contrary to popular belief, loose, light clothing keeps you way cooler than shorts and tank tops. Have fun with it! Go 'local' and get some cool tops from the souks. It'll add to the experience and the long sleeves will protect against sunburn. Marhaba! Welcome to Egypt
