Watch out
- The inside offer. Drivers who approach you inside arrivals ask the most. Walk out to the official taxi rank.
- "Your riad is closed / the road is closed." Cars can't enter most of the medina anyway; you'll be dropped at a gate. Have your riad's directions or ask them to meet you.
- No change. Carry small notes (20s and 50s) so the fare doesn't round up by itself.
