W124 and Hot desert areas: not good friends

hello people
i live in Saudi Arabia.. and it is so hot in here in the summer...
temperature in months April through August ranges from 35 C' (95 F) to 45 C' (113 F).. this summer it reached 53 C' (127 F)... no kiddin'
anyway
My car is a 1991 W124 230E.. and i noticed these things happened to it in this flaming summer:
1- the air conditioning is so ineffective, and when i compare it to the AC of my other
car (Toyota Camry 1999) i see my MB AC as so premitive it doesnt cool anything...
2- the temperature of the engine is always high and never below 80, and with the AC on its around 90!!!!

so people, do u think i have a problem with my car or is this normal ? i mean they say W124 isnt designed to function in such hot enviroments??
