Oh yes, that happens! Last year, I fell for this trick with taxi drivers in Hurghada! We arrived at night, exhausted, and the taxi driver immediately demanded $50 for the trip to the hotel. Although I was told that it should have been $20 according to the meter. For our next trip, we booked transfers Egypt in advance online through the GetTransfer website. It took us 20 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport and the price was $18. At the hotel, we were told that local taxi drivers often overcharge tourists, especially at night or when they see that people are visiting the country for the first time. So if you are flying late or with children, it is better to book a car in advance. Do you have a long way to go from the airport?
