Just to throw another thought out, I really hate tents in the desert! You miss the stars, the sunrise, the appearance of animal life in the dawn.
Even if you take a tent, try a night without!
I only use tents in sandstorm season and even then rarely. a poncho as a windbreak, a decent Karrimat-type insulator and a 3-season dossbag (or 4 season in winter) are the best solution - *dont* forget the windbreak, esp anywhere near a sea wind
Sleeping out in the air is wonderful! Smell the tea brewing in the fire embers, wake and see infinite stars over you, see the sunrise without getting up.....!
