The Egyptian word for meter is TAC TAC.

We had a great laugh with the taxi drivers and befriended some genuine ones and used them alot.

What i would say is that what we do is get in tell them where we are going and pay what we think is right.

9/10 they look bemused and say not enough we just walk off leaving them to grumble to themselves.

It is not a fact of being tight it is principle and usually u are paying double anyway when you tip.
