I have asked the hotel staff to get a taxi for me to the airport, did not expect that the “taxi” is a “taxi” without a meter, I have only noticed that in the middle of the trip and asked the driver for the fee, he said AED 140 (which is almost triple the normal rate!) I have requested the driver for a receipt, but he said he did not have a pen, though I have borrowed a pen to him, he insisted to give me a blank copy to fill in, when I was off the ‘taxi’, I then realised that the paper that the driver handed me is NOT a receipt, it’s just a order taking note! This is for sure to cheat the tourists!
The hotel staff did not mention to me that the car is not a taxi, they even did not mention that I have to pay for a specific cost as there is no meter in the car!
