yes. i believe the hottest we had it was about 105*F (41*C) and that was in Karnak (Luxor). It is a dry heat (LOL) so it is different than a similar temp in a humid place like Florida. the air is not so wet and heavy like a blanket, but if you are not used to it, it does tend to sap you. Light clothes, hats, and LOTS of water or teas. I remember walking and thinking little bugs were biting my legs, but it was just the superheated sand that was getting kicked up. I would say if that is your only time, it is better to go then than not at all. Egypt is a mind blowing place to visit.
