Pickpocketing and bag snatching can occur in crowded areas and on public transport. It's advisable to use official taxis or ride-hailing apps, avoid accepting unsolicited offers for tours, and stay alert in busy markets and tourist spots.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings.
