Where should you not drive? Countries not worth visiting in summer Countries not worth visiting.

Moscow, July 2 - Vesti.Ekonomika. Tourist skyscanner service conducted a study and named tourist destinations where you should not go in the summer. Skyscanner assessed destinations based on three parameters that affect the quality of a holiday, including water and air temperature, rainfall and resort crowding.

Below we will talk about those destinations that experts do not recommend choosing for a summer vacation.

UAE

The federation includes 7 emirates, each of them, to a greater or lesser extent, is also a tourist resort: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, Sharjah.

Each of them differs in size, originality, local laws, cost of recreation, infrastructure and attractions.

Egypt

Tourism is one of the main income items of Egypt, so the state contributes in every possible way to the development of this industry.

Intensively built and modernized resort complexes on the sea coast, in the resort cities of Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada, etc.

In Egypt, there are monuments of various eras and civilizations: ancient Egyptian, Christian (Coptic), medieval Arabic.

As in the case of the UAE, Egypt is too hot country summer. best season to visit this country is autumn or spring.

Jordan

Tourists are attracted to Jordan by the beaches and coral reefs of the Gulf of Aqaba, the Dead Sea and one of the new seven wonders of the world - Petra.

Tourists also have the opportunity to see beautiful Christian mosaics and crusader castles hanging over the mountain slopes, ride horses through the gorges of Petra and see the Treasury, one of the most amazing buildings in the world.

However the best time to visit this country - from February to May, when the air temperature is not so high and the trip will be more comfortable than in hot summer weather.

Goa

Goa, located in the northwest of India, is the main resort of this country. Goa is the smallest Indian state.

The diversity of local nature can impress even the most sophisticated tourists. Rivers and lakes, islands and waterfalls, spice plantations, mangroves and even the real jungle - all this is Goa.

And, of course, luxurious beach area, stretching along the entire 110-kilometer coastline, is the main and most recognizable business card state, attracting a large army of tourists from all over the world.

Nevertheless, Goa at the height of summer is not the best beach destination: there is a large number of precipitation. The best time to visit here is from November to April.

Philippines

One of the largest cities in the Philippines - Manila - is located on the island of Luzon. It is the capital of the state, the main cultural and economic center. Located in Manila National Museum Philippines, Santo Tomas Museum of Natural History and Anthropology, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

AT historical center Intramuros - fortifications, churches, houses of the 16th-18th centuries, Botanical Garden. Tourists are offered sightseeing tours in Manila, to Taal Lake, air safaris and folklore shows are organized.

The Philippines is famous for its beaches and picturesque coral reefs. The most famous tourist resorts located in the southern part of the archipelago on the islands of Boracay, Cebu, Bohol and Palawan.

Tourists are offered beach holiday, and more active - cruises, diving, surfing. Attractive and dynamically developing is the island of Mindoro, which is located in the north of the Philippine archipelago and is easily accessible from Manila.

However, tourists should keep in mind that in the Philippines from June to November there is a long rainy and typhoon season, so it is better to plan a trip to this country for another time of the year.

Thailand

Thailand is one of the most exotic corners of the planet; a kingdom where not only secular laws are honored and fulfilled, but also Buddhist norms.

The tourism sector is of great importance in the development of Thailand. Each of the regions offers a wide variety of resorts, but the most popular are resort town Pattaya and Phuket.

Travelers are attracted natural resources, colorful culture, folk crafts.

Some areas of Thailand are considered unsuitable destinations for summer travel. In particular, experts advise against going to Phuket, Koh Chang and Krabi.

At the same time, Koh Samui, Phangan or Hua Hin, where the rainy season lasts in October-December, are quite comfortable for a beach holiday.

Cuba

Today's Cuba is no longer just sugar cane, flowing rum and street salsa, but also a dynamically developing tourist infrastructure, almost Maldivian beaches, as well as amazing diving.

Tourists are attracted by the rich architectural monuments colonial past, almost limitless opportunities for ecotourism and a favorable tropical climate.

However, tourists are not advised to fly to Cuba in August, where hurricanes are frequent at this time.

Seychelles

Seychelles - a small archipelago in the western part indian ocean. Seychelles consists of 115 islands, of which 43 are internal and 72 are external islands.

More than half of the country's area is given over to National parks, marine parks and reserves.

This means that the protection environment here they pay great attention, which benefits both the islanders themselves and tourists.

However, the Seychelles is also not suitable for summer holidays due to storms.

Spain

Spain is one of the largest centers international tourism. Main tourist centers- Madrid and Barcelona, ​​as well as resorts - Costa Brava, Costa Dorada, Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Canary Islands. 1.3 million people are employed in this area.

The culture and architecture of the country are interesting because they were created by different peoples over hundreds of years, as a result of which the historical heritage of Spain in its pristine beauty became the embodiment of its mentality and national color.

Italy

There are 53 monuments in Italy world heritage UNESCO - more than in any other country in the world.

Monuments of antiquity from the time of Rome, the charming romance of Venice, the hilly panorama of Tuscany, the southern slopes of the Alps, wonderful nature, sun, sea, air - all this is Italy.

Undoubtedly, a country as rich in culture and tourism as Italy attracts tourists all year round.

However, experts recommend choosing the spring or autumn season for visiting Italy, since in the summer the Italians themselves love to relax on local beaches, which is why the influx of tourists is huge and often there is simply nowhere to stay on the beach.

Summer is traditionally considered the time of holidays. We are breathlessly packing our bags, joyfully pushing at the check-in counters at the airport, anticipating a long-awaited vacation. The choice of the place of the trip must be approached wisely, and not to take the first offered last-minute ticket. Having unsuccessfully decided on a country or city, you risk ruining your vacation. To prevent this from happening, we will talk about countries where you should not go in the summer.

United Arab Emirates

Why not: incredible heat

In no case do not fly to the UAE in the summer - most likely you will sit in an air-conditioned room for the entire vacation. You should not expect another development of events, because in the summer months the temperature in the emirates rises to almost + 50! Only local camels can easily endure such heat. The sea will not please you either. Swimming in water heated to + 40 is not a pleasant pleasure.

When to go: October November

India

Why not: downpours and fumes

Almost all summer in India, the rainy season is raging. Humidity combined with heat creates a terrible stuffiness, which makes it hard to breathe. Due to constant downpours, roads in Indian cities are washed out, rivers overflow their banks, and some settlements are even flooded, cutting off from the outside world. To avoid falling into this trap, avoid traveling to India during the summer.

When to go: November to April

Spain

Why not: crowds of tourists

Going to the homeland of flamenco at the end of summer, you doom yourself to a constant flea market. The Spaniards themselves major cities en masse go to rest on the beaches of Valencia, Murcia and Malaga, so there is literally nowhere for an apple to fall. In popular tourist places and there is always pandemonium near the sights. You just won't be able to enjoy your holiday in such conditions.

When to go: September October

Egypt

Why not: hellish heat in the center of the country

Most of the major Egyptian cities are stuffy and dusty, so it is simply unbearable to endure such weather.

When to go: Autumn-spring

Philippines

Why not: showers and typhoons

For Filipinos, rain is a common thing. It runs non-stop from June to November. In such conditions, the sea becomes dirty, and you can safely put an end to scuba diving.

When to go: February to April

Cuba

Why not: hurricanes

But from August to September it is better not to go there - at this time hurricanes come to the Caribbean.

It's not worth the risk of flying to Cuba during the hurricane season, but don't forget about insurance in other months.

When to go: November to March

Thailand

Why not: rains

In Thailand, the rainy season is not as intimidating as in India and the Philippines, but it can spoil your holiday. If you plan to spend a lot of time on the beach, rain can interfere with your plans. Humidity levels vary by location. The islands of Phuket and Chang, as well as the province of Krabi, suffer the most from rainfall in summer. But on Koh Samui in the summer, the weather is often ideal.

Where not to go

Tanzania. In Tanzania, they will not let you calmly walk the streets. There is an increased interest in fair-skinned people. Locals, when they see you, will shout “mgzungu”, which means light-skinned. They do not invest anything special in these cries, but it will be terribly annoying.

Ethiopia has the same story. There will be no rest.

India. Goa doesn't count

Refined ladies have no place there. Public toilets will make you run away just by looking at them, not to mention the smell. Everywhere increased unsanitary conditions. No antiseptics will help. While you are looking around, a fly will land on a bottle of water, and - hello, dysentery.

Georgia

Everything is good there, but not for teetotalers. Georgian hospitality is not a myth. It is unlikely that it will be possible to avoid a noisy feast with an abundance of alcohol.

Where to put the money

No no. You definitely don't need to go there. The robber will look into the bra first. Carry your money in a zippered inside pocket of your jacket or bag - don't carry a wallet that is easy to steal.

The world is vast and diverse, represented by many unique places, natural landscapes and unique cultures. It is quite natural that there is a desire to see the beauties of the world, to touch them, to feel new emotions and feelings. Moreover, the development of means of communication and tourism made this wish come true.

But there are places on the planet that are still better not to visit. This is due to the high level of dangers and risks directly to life. Yes, there will always be people who are ready to risk everything in order to feel the excitement, feel the extreme and get in touch with the exotic, even deadly, but here everyone decides for himself whether it is worth doing it or not.

Where not to go and why

What are the main criteria for the danger of certain places, according to what data was a list of 10 cities of the earth where you still should not go?

  • The level of environmental pollution;
  • criminogenic situation;
  • the frequency of occurrence of natural disasters and natural disasters;
  • high epidemiological threshold;
  • an extremely high mortality rate is the most important indicator, acting as a consequence of the situation in these cities.

For example, imagine the Indian city of Sukinda, which has over two and a half million people, 90% of whom suffer from cancer. And answer yourself the question, is it worth risking your life to see this nightmare. The reason for this plight is simple: the world's largest chromium mines and processing plants are located near the city. And all the waste is dumped into the water, pollute the soil and air.

Scary as it may seem, Sukinda takes only 5th place in the list of the most dangerous cities in the world. Of course, the distribution of places is conditional, only the list itself remains constant.

Chernobyl, Ukraine

The leading place in the list of cities in the world where you should not go is the Ukrainian Chernobyl, which survived an unprecedented man-made disaster in April 1986, namely the explosion of the 4th nuclear reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The scale of what happened can be estimated from the fact that after the explosion of the reactor, a column of radioactive flame rose almost 1 kilometer high, and the radiation level at the explosion site was 100 times higher than the level of radioactive background in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the nuclear bombing carried out by the United States in August 1945 of the year. More than five million people were affected by the accident. Today, an exceeded radioactive background remains here, which makes visiting this place undesirable and dangerous.

Linfen, China

Researchers, including the US Blacksmith Institute, give the 1st place in undesirability of visiting to the city of Linfen in the Chinese people's republic. The city is the center for coal mining in China, the level of air pollution is so high that during the day the air is gray, white clothes on the street are covered with soot; Over 200,000 local residents suffer from oncology and respiratory diseases.

Sumgayit, Azerbaijan

The next city included in the ten most dangerous cities to visit is the Azerbaijani Sumgayit, which has become one of the centers of the chemical industry since the existence of the country of the USSR. The whole area is poisoned and contaminated with oil waste, heavy metals. Many residents suffer from severe forms of the disease.

Vapi, India

The Indian city of Vapi occupies its place in this sad list. There are more than a thousand industrial enterprises in it, as a result of which the level of environmental contamination is ten times higher than allowable norms.

More than 70 thousand inhabitants of this city suffer from chronic diseases.

Norilsk, Russia

The Russian city of Norilsk is included in the list of the most dangerous cities to visit. This city closed to tourists is the most polluted place in Russia. Activities of the Norilsk Iron and Steel Works and others industrial enterprises, the world's largest mining and processing of heavy metals, led to a high degree of pollution of the area and mass morbidity, especially respiratory diseases.

Dzerzhinsk, Russia

Unfortunately, the city of Dzerzhinsk, located in Russia, can take the leading positions in the list of the most life-threatening cities in the world. On the territory of Dzerzhinsk, for many decades, huge amounts of waste from the chemical industry were conserved. Here, the ecology is completely violated, the degree of groundwater pollution is millions of times higher than the permissible norms. As a result, the average life expectancy here is 45 years.

Kabwe, Zambia

The city of Kabwe in Zambia takes its place on the list. Pollution of the environment, especially air and water with heavy metals due to the activities of industrial enterprises for the processing of lead and cadmium, caused serious illnesses in 250 thousand inhabitants of this city. Naturally, a visit to such a place is highly discouraged.

La Oroya, Peru

A sad and dangerous place for visitors is the city of La Oroya in the Republic of Peru. In the vicinity of the city, rich deposits of heavy metals were discovered, after which their development by American companies began. The activity of American industrial enterprises in the city of La Oroya has led to environmental pollution, acid rain. Terrible statistics are given that almost the entire population of the city, which is 35 thousand people, suffers from serious illnesses.

Tianjin, China

The tenth city in the list of cities in the world where you should not go is chinese city Tianjin. The concentration of lead in the air exceeds the permissible concentration by fifteen times, in food - by 20-24 times. Naturally, these are very dangerous indicators for health.

Take care, avoid dangerous places and live happily!

The first time I heard the words “Yes, you shouldn’t go there, to this Bali” was during a bike ride in Pattaya. With us in the group was a Dutchman about 35 years old, and he was, like all farangs, with a Thai girl from the bar. “It’s strange,” I say, “it seems that everyone loves Bali so much.” “Yes, there all the bars are open until 22-23 hours, and in general there are few of them. One trip to Bali is enough, and then a short one, ”the guy summed up.


After our trip to Bali, I can confirm: if you want drunken entertainment, accessible girls in noisy bars - you are not in Bali. But I would also highlight a few more cases when it’s not that you shouldn’t go to Bali ... But when you definitely don’t see Bali the way it will hit you in the heart. So let's get started 🙂

The sea in Bali is incredibly beautiful. But severe, admits to itself not always. By the way, in the photo is the Uluwatu Temple, where

1. Should I go to Bali? Not worth it if you're only interested in bars

Because then your stay will be limited southern resorts, such as Kuta, Nusa Dua. So stormy nightlife like in Thailand, there is none. And there are no girls to choose from on every corner either.

2. You should not go to Bali if you only need a beach holiday in Kuta or Nusa Dua

Bali, beach in Kuta. Not very impressive, right? But it's okay, because the main highlight of the Island of the Gods is not the beaches at all!

3. Don't go to Bali if you're on a budget

Nung Nung waterfall is one of the main and most beautiful attractions in Bali. But you won’t get there by public transport, because there is none on the island.

That is, if you do not budget for spending on excursions. The fact is that public transport not particularly developed on the island, and you will not be able to get to most of Bali's attractions on your own. if you have good experience driving a motorcycle, you can take it off. The price for renting a bike in Kuta is from 100 to 200 rubles per day. We rented a bike for 100 rubles (). Tourist advice: don't take a bike if you barely remember how to drive it! The traffic is very dangerous, and when you go deep into the island and see what kind of serpentines there are ...

Therefore, there is another option - to rent a car with a driver. It costs in Bali an average of $50 a day. Another option is to take a taxi to the sights. In general, as you can see, transport will be a significant expense item. And to visit mystical Bali and not see its sights will be just a pity. I promise - your trip will be full of new experiences.

4. You should not go to Bali if you stay there for less than five days

If your trip is codenamed “Crossing Asia” and you plan to visit Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sumatra, Jakarta, Bali and Komodo in two weeks, our tourist advice is this: cross Bali off this list. Bali is not just any gothic cathedral which can be viewed in an hour. Do not go to Bali for less than five days. Bali is a place of power, a special place for which you need to set aside time, slowly enjoy it, try to understand.

Unless, of course, this trip is not for show.

Okay, friends, these are just my recommendations. Answer the question "Is it worth going to Bali?" you owe it to yourself. Bali made a strong impression on me, and of course, I would like other people to have the opportunity to get to know him as closely as possible. And for this you need to create the right conditions. Do you agree? 🙂

Bali is a place of special power and rare beauty. You can drive around it in five days. Understanding is impossible.
Pictured is one of the main attractions in Bali, temple Pura Ulun Danu on Lake Bratan.

HOW TO FLY

If you are going on a trip to Bali (and indeed anywhere in the world), let me recommend you convenient service for finding cheap air tickets Aviasales. This is the service we use the most.
