Water On Raghead
I used to do a fair bit of weekend walking in the Omani Jebels.Even in the winter temps could be over 36Deg and usually 28-32Deg. Used to start at 5-6am and finish by 10-11am when it was to hot to safely do more.I always wore an arab Shamag(raghead) around my head and found that when I started to get really hot a good dousing with water on the head to keep the 'rag' wet really helped. I also always carried an electrolyte drink as well as water.
Once or twice I overdid the exertion and was very debilitated - not recommended!
Recommend the raghead for outdoor use in these kinds of places. People may think you look like a poser but - do they really know?
