this fact. Watch Egyptians as they dress and imitate them. Women, in
particular, should dress modestly even in summer.
But modesty doesn't mean veiling every spot of your body … just
avoid teenie-weenie garments. Modesty would not only avoid people

Ideal, and least, clothing for women
Temperatures in summer sometimes rise to above 45 C so you should
dress sensibly. Use T-Shirts, hats, sunglasses and sunblock in summer.
Desert areas are cold at night even in summer. Temperature in winter
time fall to as low as 5 C but you can experience summer heat in some
days, so always watch temperature forecasts and adapt yourself to
any unexpected weather.
