In Thailand's heat, that becomes important. I also added extra grommets for even more venting. It has a foam insulating layer on the top of the crown as well for even more sun protection. I wish it had air-conditioning too...

Yes, Egypt is hot, but it's a dry heat, so humidity isn't generally a problem.
