35 Countries Where Tourists Get the Royal Treatment (And 20 Where They Don't)

52. Somalia: Extreme Instability and Security Risks

Somalia remains one of the world's most dangerous countries due to ongoing armed conflict, widespread terrorism, and pervasive crime, including kidnapping targeting foreigners. Government control is limited in many areas, and infrastructure is minimal. The humanitarian situation is dire, and essential services are unreliable. International travel advisories strongly recommend against all travel. For any tourist, the overwhelming security risks and the breakdown of law and order create an exceptionally hostile and unwelcoming environment, making safe passage virtually impossible.
