She really needs to find accommodation with air conditioning. It can get over 40C (105F) in the shade. And access to a swimming pool.
As for daily strategy, it's reasonably cool in the morning, so try to get shopping, private study etc done before midday. It will stay hot till sunset around 7 pm. Follow the locals and have a long siesta and eat and enjoy nightlife after 9 pm.
Use backpack for travel, and messenger type for carrying books, pads and pens.
