This largely relies on the website you are visiting and the time of day that you are doing so. Some places don't provide much shade, so you should be careful not to expose too much skin to the sun (the Giza Pyramids in the afternoon is a good example of this). Since temples are well-shaded, you do not need to cover yourself up as much. However, keep in mind that despite their good shading, tombs still tend to heat up from the sun and the numerous tourists, so try to wear light clothing, especially made of cotton. Although many individuals choose to wear open-toed sandals, be aware that many of the flooring are extremely uneven, making it possible to easily stub your toe on them.
The greatest time of year to visit Egypt is between September and May, when you can enjoy the outdoors of Egypt with a beautiful cool breeze and not too much heat, but enough. This is because Egypt summers can get incredibly hot, with temperatures climbing as high as 50 Celsius.
