Visiting The Most Dangerous Countries

When you are traveling Afghanistan, you are more likely to see the mines, guns, and terror rather than the magnificent and gorgeous places. It’s enormously dangerous to visit the places here cause it’s officially a war zone and you never know when the bombs and fires drop on your head.

Located in South Asia and Central Asia, Afghanistan aka the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is a landlocked country with spectacular beauty but now it has turned to become a terror zone.

A historically blended country with multiple cultures, peoples, and art was a favorite among travelers, however, in present context people have to think twice when they plan a trip for Afghanistan because the country has been a chaos due to extreme wars.

And since the areas are totally unsafe because of ongoing militant attacks, kidnapping, suicide bombings, banditry hostage takings and fires, visit Afghanistan is strongly discouraged. But if you still intend to visit the country then look out for a safety zone although there are only a few of them.

Egypt insane beauty has offered miracles and amazing frame of history, cultures and artistic masterpiece to its visitors all this time. But it’s not same always, from one of the most liked tourist destinations to one of the most dangerous countries in the world; Egypt has been through a lot in recent few years.

To be honest it has become a favorite country among terrorist groups and they have frequently attacked the country mostly targeting tourist spots, government officials, civil aviation and public venues.

These civil wars, rebellion, and terrorist groups have brought bloodshed and mayhem to the country, instigating a huge downfall in the number of travelers. It was further followed by an accidental death of eight Mexican tourists in September 2015. So definitely it's a no, no country for tourist.

Venezuela is not a place for chill out or overseas vacation unless you wanna observes the terror.

When the whole Venezuela is fighting with the crimes, you can’t expect the capital ‘Caracas’ to stay behind. And notwithstanding, in spite of, droopingly gorgeous Andes Mountain and tranquil Caribbean coastline, violence is at the peak in this country.

Over few years, Venezuela is struck by the on-going crisis like medicine and lack of food followed by violent protests.

You can visit Iraq only if you like the odors of gunfire’s, mines and bombs but if you are not among those then get Iraq out of your head cause it's unsafe to visit here. And if you happened to get here then there is no cert that you’ll get home in a piece.

In 2007, Baghdad, the capital of Iraq was considered the most dangerous city in the world and somewhere it still is. Bur in this center city of crime, U.S. citizens are most likely to be the target. They are kidnapped for extortion and theirs is a high risk of terrorist violence for them.

The present condition in Iraq is terribly imprecise, the US military is on their way back to U.S, so there is more probability that you’ll get shot this time. The heat of the war is still there the country and it’s not going to cool down any time near.

The economic powerhouse of Africa, Nigeria has managed to grab the international attention with the on-going tension and violent criminal activities by Islamist group Boko Haram. Traveling Nigeria and staying safe is pretty hard because the gunshot and fires can attack you at any time and any place.

And due to the potential risk of armed attacks, kidnappings, and robberies, travelers are asked to avoid some of the Nigerian parts.

There is a whole lot a threat of violence to the visitors and to further add kidnappings by armed tribesmen, illicit detention against travelers from the terrorist groups are frequently carried here.
