Is it hot at night too?

I have. I visited Marrakech in 2008 on a day trip from Casablanca. Because it's inland there was no cooling sea breeze. It was a dry heat so there was not a lot of sweating but I still needed a constant supply of water. The problem was that the water warmed up very quickly. It was difficult because the air was so warm that breathing was a bit uncomfortable but the lack of humidity balanced that out. The main thing I remember is that it was relentless. As for burning, plenty of high-factor sun block did the trick and applying it more than once in the day was easy due to the lack of sweat.
