( votes)From fatal tsunami-prone locations to areas with a superfluity of crime, Let’s count the places where you are most likely to get killed in, Most dangerous place to travel in the world.
Rank #13 Sana’a – Yemen
- One of the most politically unbalanced place in the world, both Britain and America advising people to leave the country due to violence fears
- Their capital city of Sana’a, 7,500 feet about sea level, is amazingly attractive to visit, even if it’s also known as one of the most dangerous places to live,ever
- A lot of the buildings are Tetris-style geometric blocks stacked on top of each other, specially the Old City district full of magnificently designed buildings that harkens back to the days when you weren’t murdered frequently
Rank #12 Cape Town – South Africa,
- This place isn’t so bad, except due to deficiency and social disorder the crime rate is badly high from desperate people
- Like Yemen, this place attracts tourists for its loveliness – but you are actually permitted to visit Cape Town, they just advise you don’t travel alone and that you avoid the more infamously precarious districts
Rank #11 Grand Canyon – Arizona,
- You might not think it’s a dangerous place because of what a tourist hot spot it is, but don’t be fooled – all it takes is one wrong step and death is sure
- At least, most of the time it is – a 21-year-old was driving across the edge when he accidentally plummeted off the cliff, but fortunately he was saved by a tree that slowed his fall near the bottom
- For others, the falls are planned – the Grand Canyon is well-known to be the nation’s second-highest location for suicide

Rank #9 Naples – Italy
