#6 – Egypt

The Egyptian ancient history, mummies, pyramids, and different interesting monuments can make anyone crave visiting this country for a unique lifetime adventure. But in reality, it’s a terrible idea!

Besides the current terrorism threats, tourists in this country are often subject to kidnapping (particularly in the desert region.) What’s more, Egypt is currently suffering from political instability, common teargas, gunfire, random attacks at police stations, and even blockage of access to towns when locals are irritated.

Just forget about ancient history for the current time and also for a few years to come. And if you crave the desert, there are other safer countries that offer amazing trips to the desert.

#5 – Iraq

Iraq is an absolute danger zone for all travelers, regardless of the attempts of the country’s government to attract worldwide tourists through multiple projects.

This country is home to regular gunfire, bombings, and many other violent crimes, making it a highly dangerous place for anyone. Terrorism and outbreaks remain unpredictable in today’s war-torn Iraq.

Furthermore, the risk of being kidnapped or falling victim to terrorists while visiting this part of the world is dangerously sky-high. Tourists should even avoid coming closer to Iraq’s borders in case visiting Turkey, while completely avoid traveling to Iran or Syria.

Surprised you did not mention the Maldives. It remains safe if you are part of ISIS and that’s about it~

Wow. Can’t believe Russia was on the list. We spent six weeks on our 50th anniversary traveling from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok. People, without exception, were extremely friendly. Of course, you always need to be aware of your surroundings, domestic or otherwise. Moscow; exceptionally clean, no graffiti, almost need reservations to get into McDonalds. St. Petersburg is beautiful and a “go back to” city!

There is an island in Thailand which is very beautiful and is a massive magnet to the young. However there have been many unexplained deaths in the last few years which the police seem hell bent on covering up, mainly to protect the tourist trade.This island KOH TAO has become very dangerous indeed. Tell your kids to stay away.

Israel should have been #1.

A very biased and false dramatization of the situation of Pakistan. Do you have any figures of the tourists killed in any of the terrorist attacks in Pakistan? According to my knowledge at least none in last 5 years. As far as your question as to why someone would like to visit this country, out of many valid reasons I would only enlist a few.
1. It has the second highest mountain of the world.
2. Hosts 5 of the 8 above 8000 meter peaks in the world.
3. Meeting point of 3 most well known mountain ranges i.e. Hindukush, Karakoram and Himalayas.
4. Has the ruins of the earliest civilizations of the world at Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Taxila.
I could keep going on but for anyone to be convinced as to whether it’s worth taking a risk, the above few reasons should be enough.
