The worst bit is that one taxi driver, I believe deliberately, took me to the wrong part of the airport. And, I had to get another taxi to international.

And, every price negotiation was a massive ripoff. I paid hundreds of pounds for a trip to the waterfront and back.
Hundreds of pounds? Please forgive me for asking, but are you thinking of Cairo? That's probably the worst city for taxis I have experienced. There's no waterfront in Riyadh.
