Scams involving overcharging or unofficial taxi services can occur, so it is advisable to use licensed taxis or pre-book transportation. Always keep an eye on personal belongings and avoid displaying valuables openly to reduce 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.
