Libya
Libya is very attractive for tourists – the most beautiful mosques, ancient amphitheaters, huge number of monuments of Byzantine and Roman times are located in this country. However, civil war is in full swing in Libya, riots reign here and tourists can be easily kidnapped by the outlaws.
Afghanistan
This is one of the poorest countries in the world, despite the rich history and culture of the region. Different antiquities are located on the territory of the Afghanistan, but the risk is really high, on the road to them. The thing is that high percentage of locals are hostile to people of other religions. Also, radical Islamist movement, which is responsible for terracts and skirmishes with government forces is based in here.
Somalia
This is a country where spectacular beaches and rare Laas Gaal cave complex with ancient cave drawings are located. But the risk is high when visiting this country. Have you ever heard of somali pirates? This is a motherland of those dangerous guys. Poverty, devastation, hunger and robbery reign in this country after the civil war in 90s. Locals are really armed and to make up for living they become pirates and robb ships passing through the nearest trade routes. On the ashore is dangerous as well with all the internal disassemblies.
Syria
It is not a secret that Syria is not a tourist attraction right now. Locals are trying to survive in the devastating war.. In peaceful times Syria was very attractive with its ancient historical monuments, significant and unique.
Yemen
Yemen is rich with diversity of nature. You can find steep mountains, ancient volcanoes, perfect beaches with cozy bays and sunken ships and endless deserts with fabulous oases here. From a historical point Yemen is attractive because three oldest states where located on its territory. But Yemen still remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Terrorists reign in here. And citizens of the country are heavily armed. Laws of this country are very strict, even the slightest offense can face the death penalty.
Mali
The famous World Heritage listed Timbuktu city is located here. Timbuktu is famous by its unique monuments and mausoleums. Mali is one of the poorest, underdeveloped and corrupt countries, even though there are huge clusters of gold in this area. In order to get rich somehow, people overcharge the visitors (especially Europeans). Most importantly, in the past 7 years, Mali has become particularly dangerous due to internal conflicts, military coups, and actions of militants and radical groups.
South Sudan
South Sudan is a young state, which gained its independence only in 2011. Territory of the state may be attractive to the safari lovers and exotic explorers. But, tourists are always strongly warn not to visit this state. The reason is unstable political situation. There is also a high risk to getting sick of a rare but extremely dangerous disease. The percentage of HIV-positive people is very high in South Sudan. Besides “traditional” outbreaks of malaria, cholera and black fever here there are still severe rare diseases that have remained on our planet in few places.
