20 Pictures of the World’s Most Dangerous Bucket List Destinations

As the clock ticks further and further into the 21st century, there can be no denying the world is becoming an increasingly dangerous place. There are of course many reasons for this increase in danger, all of which are outside the scope of this post. However, one does need to hope that things begin to cool down in the near future, as many of the world’s most interesting, exotic and inspiring locations are in danger and remain too dangerous to visit for many travelers.

It’s with the hope that the world might once again turn toward the direction of peace that this post is written. Below, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the world’s most dangerous destinations that nonetheless make our list of bucket-list places to visit. While we certainly do not advise travel to these countries, we nonetheless look at them as places that we’d like to see before our short times aboard this tiny blue orb in the inky blackness of space comes to an end…

1. Syria

The ongoing civil war and humanitarian crisis in Syria is a blot upon the world and must come to an end.

2. World Heritage Sites

The site of America’s longest-running war, we don’t need to tell you why Afghanistan remains dangerous to this day.

Still, the danger can do nothing to quell the natural beauty of places like Band-E-Amar, the country’s most noteworthy national park.

And Iran is full of things that will surprise westerns, such as the Andy Warhol Museum in the heart of Tehran.

9. Libya

Donald Trump may want to “destroy” it, but there’s more to this hermetic country than meets the eye.

If you go, you’ll absolutely want to check out this national park, which is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife.
