Risky travel: rating of countries that are not conducive to rest

Modern tourism has no borders. Every wealthy traveler has the opportunity to choose any desired destination. However, not all countries that you want to visit are open to visitors or safe. These are primarily the states of the Middle East, where many regions are considered "hot spots". This issue presents countries that, for one reason or another, are not conducive to travel.

Angola. Despite the fact that the civil war in Angola has long been over, crime is thriving here. Tourists who decide to visit the country should not flaunt their property, for example, put on valuables. You need to behave modestly and carefully. (jbdodane)

Pakistan. Before you go to Pakistan, you need to do a lot of different vaccinations against various diseases. Everywhere there is a high risk of infection with malaria, polio, tuberculosis, cholera, etc. An important fact that stops most tourists is terrorism flourishing in this Islamic country.

Bhutan. Getting into this mountainous country as a tourist is not an easy test. Worrying about the untouchability of local culture and attractions, the government strictly controls the tourism sector. In addition, travelers are forced to pay a high fee for each day of their stay in the country. (Travis Lupick)

Somalia. It is possible to get into the country, but it is quite risky to be in it. To ensure basic security, tourists need to hire a guide or, even better, an armed guard to accompany them. (United Nations Photo)

Afghanistan. Regular conflicts between local groups, political instability and terrorism do not have a peaceful rest in the country. Every tourist traveling through the agency must submit a statement on the removal of responsibility from the travel agency in case of death or injury, as well as taking the risk on himself.

Libya. The overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, the civil war, constant conflicts, widespread ruins have made the country unclaimed among tourists. In addition to the risks, you are still waiting for a variety of restrictions — for example, on alcohol and clothing. (Rainer Voegeli)

Saudi Arabia. The country has become open for tourism recently, but in most cases only pilgrims are allowed here (after all, Mecca is located here) or relatives of local residents. (Al Jazeera English)
