Common scams include overcharging by taxi drivers and unofficial tour guides. It's advisable to use licensed taxis and official services. Travelers should also be wary of distractions used to divert attention while accomplices steal belongings. Staying alert and securing personal items reduces risk.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
