ArabiaWeather - The "Sky Scanner" website for travel identified a set of financial mistakes that should be avoided while traveling abroad, to avoid uncalculated costs, or to avoid exposure to embarrassing situations, such as theft or fraud, most notably:

Banking fees: The traveler must remember that every time he wants to obtain “cash” or “cash”, he is likely to incur fees of some kind, and these costs may vary depending on whether the ATM is managed by a large bank or No, or whether the bank is on your card network, noting that fees can change from year to year.

Arriving at the hotel: Make arrangements to get to the hotel from the airport early, while you do not realize the cost of taking a taxi from the airport, and the fair price for that, make sure if you have less expensive alternatives such as train or bus, so it is better to know all this before the trip.

Mobile: Sending a few text messages, browsing maps, a few emails and certain social media updates can cost you money and stretch your budget, even if you buy special roaming deals, as your data usually disappears quickly.

Theft: Don't leave valuables in an unsecured location, and this applies to anything someone can quickly snatch from you. Financial Transactions: It is important to avoid checking bank balances and making online payments, or entering sensitive passwords for your accounts when using a Wi-Fi network, in order to avoid electronic fraud by hackers who can target various types of networks, including secure ones. .
