• Men at the airports offer to take your trolley and then charge for it: say no and keep hold of your bags.
• Agree taxi fares or insist on the meter; unmetered rides from the airport or station are where overcharging happens.
• Beach and medina vendors are persistent; a firm no is enough.
• Summer heat and strong sun on the beach: shade and water, especially with children.
• Many resort hotels close or run at low service from November to March: confirm before booking.
