Transport scams to know ⚠️

Tip :Decline politely and go straight to the taxi rank.

Tip :Insist on the meter or get out — another taxi will come quickly.
Practical tips
- The Al Boraq high-speed train is an excellent option for the north coast.
- Renting a car is ideal for the south and the desert — the roads are good.
- Shared grands taxis are an authentic, very cheap local experience.
