The science of people in the desert not wearing just shorts. A loose fitting long tunic type outfit creates a cooler “air pocket” around you. I learned that lesson when I lived in India many moons ago. Leave the shorts and T shirts in your suitcase. Purchase the traditional clothing of the area and be comfortable.
I remember being in the field, in a tent in a German winter when I was in the Army. Sgt says "get your clothes off before you get into the sleeping bag". I thought he was nuts but it turned out I was warm and toasty all night.
