Is it cold at night in the desert ?

In the Tunisian Sahara Desert there’s no big diffrence between the tempreture during the day and that of the night but in winter the temperature could decrease to 2 degrees. Il would be better to wear a pullover with a Jacket. But un summer time it’s hot at night.
