What is the "Resort Taxi Fixed Rate Inflation" scam in Sharm El Sheikh?

Question

Accepted Answer

Taxi drivers between Naama Bay, the Old Market, and resort areas refuse to use meters and demand fixed rates that are three to five times higher for obvious tourists compared to what Egyptian nationals pay for the same journey. Agree on a price before entering any taxi. Ask your hotel reception what the going rate is for your specific journey. For the airport, book through your hotel for a fixed, known price.
