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.

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 :)

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
