10 Of The Safest Countries For Tourists—And 10 Of The Most Dangerous
Is It Worth The Risk?
The world is full of incredible places to explore, but if we truly want to enjoy the joys of travel, we’ve got to keep safety in mind.
So before you book that trip to the great pyramids or the Taj Mahal, let’s see just how safe their home countries are.
Here are 10 of the safest and most dangerous countries for tourists, starting with the most dangerous.
Egypt
People all over the world are still captivated by the ancient ruins and pyramids of Egypt, but the country is the safest place for tourists to be traipsing about.
Egypt has experienced several terrorist attacks over the last few years, and while tourists aren’t the target, they could get caught in the crossfire.
Egypt (cont’d)
More than the terrorists though, travelers in Egypt can easily fall pretty to street crimes and scams.
For example, there are lots of helpful locals who’ll offer to point out a shortcut to your destination—only to turn around and demand you pay them after.
India
Tourists love India’s gorgeous temples and budget-friendliness, but the streets here can prove dangerous for naïve travelers. There’s no shortage of scam artists waiting to take advantage of those who let their guard down.
