Mauritius Travel Guide Mauritius Traffic Guide

This time, I want to talk to you about the place of Mauritius, climate, traffic, gas stations in go on road trip and Mauritius. Friends in need should look carefully. Will help you?

Like other Indian Ocean island countries, Mauritius has a typical tropical island climate. May-165438+1October is winter, which is dry and warm, and June-165438+1October-May is summer, which is hot and humid. However, there is no obvious difference in temperature between winter and summer. The annual land temperature is 22℃-34℃, the seawater temperature is 22℃-27℃, and the annual precipitation is 1500-3500mm. Suitable for traveling all year round. Our hotel owner told us that July and August are the off-season on the island, and the hotel price will be much cheaper than usual, sometimes even more than half discount.

We went to Mauritius at the end of March, which belongs to the end of summer. The weather is fine most of the time. Generally speaking, rain comes and goes quickly. Only in the last two days, there has been a lot of precipitation, and it rained almost all day. The eastern coastal sections even caused a backlog of rain and caused floods. Pay attention to traveling in rainy days!

Mauritius is said to be one of the countries with the best air quality in the world, ranking second in the ranking published by the World Health Organization, although I doubt this ranking.

The total length of roads on Maucho Island is 2066 kilometers. There are two expressways on the island, which mainly connect the airport with the capital Port Louis and the northern region. There is no charge for the expressway. In addition to highways, it is also divided into first-class highways and second-class highways. There is a major coastal highway around the island, which is generally smooth. Other ethnic scenic spots need to cross the rural dirt road in sugarcane fields, and the road surface is poor, so they should avoid driving in bad weather, as will be mentioned later.

Speed limit: 40km/h in towns, 80km/h in expressways and 1 10km/h in expressways. Pay attention to the traffic around Maoqiu Expressway.

Public transport system: The public transport system on the island is very developed, with 220 bus lines and more than 900 bus stops.

Car rental and self-driving shows that it is quite convenient to rent a car on the island, and the price of a small car is also very affordable, starting at around 35 euros/day.

Mauritius was once a British colony. Like most Commonwealth countries or historical colonies, Mauritius drives on the left, which is just the opposite of most countries in Central Europe. The driver is a right rudder, not a domestic left rudder. Therefore, it is a test of the skills of self-drivers. Please study the operation mode of each part of the vehicle before going on the road. Always remember to drive on the left and drive carefully on the road.

Gas stations generally have large gas stations on the main roads, mainly operated by several large companies, India.

Oil is the most common gas station on the island, and the price is the same. Unlike most European countries, which need manual operation, gas stations usually have employees to help you refuel, and you just need to tell how much to add. There are fewer gas stations in 24 hours, so people who walk at night try to refuel during the day.

There are many bank counters in the arrival hall of Maoqiu Airport. It is suggested that you can bring a small amount of cash and exchange it for some local currencies, and a few hundred euros will be enough. Where cash is needed in the future, local cash can be directly withdrawn from ATMs in many towns and hotels, which is not only convenient but also more cost-effective. It is not recommended to carry a large amount of cash abroad for exchange.

Hairball accepts most credit cards, VISA and MASTER are barrier-free, many stores also accept UnionPay cards, and many ATMs can also withdraw cash with UnionPay cards.

Mauritius calling card:

The main telecom operators are Orange and Emtel.

Secondly, there is MTML. Online calling cards with traffic can be bought in most supermarkets and small shops. Most hotels and holiday homes in Mauritius provide free wireless network, which is relatively fast.

Mauritius plug:

Our holiday home has two kinds of plugs: British standard plug and German standard plug, mainly British standard three-hole plug. When we come to Mauritius, we can buy a British standard plug converter, but generally many hotels and holiday homes will provide free converters for tourists. Small supermarkets in Mauritius also sell converters.
