It is usually very easy to hail a taxi as there are so many constantly cruising the streets. There are occasions though that taxis may be hard to find (say Fridays, during prayer times), when it makes sense to order a radio taxi. Fares are about 20 per cent higher, but the service is quick and hassle-free. Call 682999 to make a booking.
