As a kid in the sixties I uded to be intrigued by these people from the country side all dressed in heavy Jellaba's in the mid of summer. But strangley enough, when I tried one while it was 39 deg Centigrade, it was not bad. I guess these people know something about Thermodynamics and nature! Look at firefighter with those heavy metallic looking shield-uniforms when fighting blazes ... same thing here. So try a long robe & long sleeves and see ... Think about it: the more area of you body is exposed to the hot air, obviously the warmer yo will feel. Hope this helps and hope you will enjoy your stay there as it is unique country indeed.
