All body parts must be covered, both sheltered from the sun, and sand, especially troublesome during a sandstorm. There is hardly any moisture in these areas, that's why the heat is so excruciating. It is not necessary to wear clothes while hiking in the desert to protect you from rain, so it can be airy, allowing the skin to breathe; it should consist of several layers, which provide adequate insulation at night.
