Examples of how hot it is there.
In UAE we fried an Egg on top of a tool box
In Qatar it was so Humid and temps over 100 degrees F you were literally sweating in the shower, and it didn't even feel relieving.
In Iraq our inside the Truck thermometer <sp> read 170+ degrees, the AC cooled us down to around 100. The outside thermometer read 158 degrees one day.
In Saudia Arabia....was just hot, with really bad sand storms added in. (these sandstorms stung the skin, unlike Iraq sand which is like a fine powder.

I hear ya! I remember standing on the deck of our ship and looking at the thermometer reading 128 in the shade. Being in Jebel Ali, on the water, the humidity was almost unbearable. Honestly speaking though, in Dubai, it wasn't as bad it seemed. Maybe it was because we were off duty and having fun but it just didn't seem as bad. Either way, if you were born there and grew up in that weather, it would just be normal to you.
