How it works
A friendly well-dressed local befriends tourists near the Corniche and invites them to a nearby bar or restaurant for drinks. Once seated, a bill is run up for expensive rounds and the local disappears, leaving tourists with an inflated bill and sometimes aggressive staff demanding payment.
How it works
Some restaurants near the Corniche and Hassan II Mosque show tourists inflated menus or quote verbal prices much higher than what is listed. Bills may also include undisclosed service charges and cover fees that can add 30–50% to the stated food price.
