temperatures in cairo now are varying from 32 - 45, depending on the
sun and humidity rate (which is really unexpectable),, but in alex, it
should be a bit less, like, 25 at night to almost 35-38 in the middle
of the day, also you can check the weather forecasts on the night news
of 9 PM, they come at the end around 9,30 PM,, and u can also check on
websites like BBC, which are more accurate im afraid :D
anyway, most of the heat in cairo and alex come from the crowd and
traffic, so try avoiding them
plz note that these temperatures are in Celcius

Aude,
Your tip is really great and helpful for first timers like me. I know it is
summer there right now but can you give us an idea what is the current
temperature there? Is humidity high?
thanks,
Leah

I would bring both long/half-sleeve blouses or shirts, as well as short
sleeves. For shopping (dealing with the bargaining and people) and other
situations, I like to be more conservative in dress. But, overall, things
are not as conservative (long sleeves only) for dress as I assumed before I
left.

Since arriving, I have traveled around the country, including Sinai,

for Wikimania, I'd like to take the opportunity to share advice and

Aude -- this is super, super helpful. Thank you so much for all the
tips, especially the phrases and advice on what to wear! There's
nothing like the voice of experience :)
