Common scams include overpriced taxi rides without meters and unofficial guides offering tours at inflated prices. It is advisable to use authorized taxi services and remain vigilant with personal belongings in busy spots.
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.
