So, let us get started on the most unsafe countries around the world where you should not travel in 2022.

Most Unsafe Countries to Visit in 2022

Afghanistan

Afghanistan is famous for its historical places, market, and pomegranates. There are so many lakes, gardens, museums, and palaces to see in Afghanistan. For twenty years, 2 decades, traveling to Afghanistan was safe and enjoyable. Those were the days when the American army stayed in the country. Now that the Taliban government rolling over the country. So, traveling is doubtful as it is indeed not safe to go.

In 2001, the American Army invaded Afghanistan with the intention of completely eliminating Al Qaeda and toppling the Taliban government. The American Army wanted to destroy Al Qaeda because the same terrorist group executed the 9/11 attacks. And this Taliban government was supporting the Al Qaeda terrorist group.

After a long war of 20 years, on 30 August 2021, the Americans completely withdrew their army from Afghanistan. Once again Taliban formed its government in Afghanistan and named it the “Islamic Emirate”.

Afghanistan has been engulfed by one of the biggest humanitarian crises in recent times. The Taliban government has no cash to run a proper Afghan economy. They also do have not enough cash to give their salary or buy food. And due to incidents like firing and bomb blasts, today Afghanistan is counted among the most unsafe country to visit in 2022.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is famous for its religious and historical places, national parks, tea fields, beaches, and nature. Tourism accounts for 10% of Sri Lanka’s total income. But, because of covid and corruption, Sri Lanka has become the world’s worst economy today.

The government in Sri Lanka belongs to the Rajapaksa family, in which a total of 9 members of this family are present at the top position. And this government gave health, education, and subsidy-free in Sri Lanka, whose burden fell on the taxpayer.

This government made another promise to the people in 2019 that it will make Sri Lanka 100% organic farming in the coming 10 years. So, Sri Lankan Government bought organic fertilizer from China, but later it was found that this fertilizer could have caused big crop loss in Sri Lanka. And later Srilankan government returned this large batch of fertilizers to China. Therefore, the Sri Lankan Government suffered heavy losses.

The Sri Lankan government got trapped by borrowing from China for many other reasons. And this is an example to the world that how one family can ruin a country.

Another problem in Sri Lanka is that of power. Today Sri Lankan government does not have enough power supply due to which 90% of power is off in Sri Lanka today. Sri Lanka is supplying power to only those VIPs, big businessmen, and politicians.

Today Sri Lanka has a debt of more than $50 billion. Recently, there is a lot of scarcity of food, fuel, and medicine in Sri Lanka. They do not even have enough cash balance to buy essential things for their citizen’s life.

Due to some such reasons, today Sri Lanka has become the most unsafe country to travel to in 2022.

China

On 31st December 2019, WHO got the first case of pneumonia of unknown cause from Wuhan city of China. And on 7th January 2020, the reason for this was identified by the China Authority and named “2019-nCoV”. And again covid has attacked china.

Covid outbreaks are still ongoing in China’s Shanghai city. A total of 300,000 covid cases have been found in Shanghai city till March-2022. Today, covid is spreading in many cities of China, due to which China has imposed Lockdown in about 23 cities. Due to such a situation of covid in China, it would be better not to travel in 2022.

Pakistan

In April-2022, a No-Confidence Motion was passed against Prime Minister Imran Khan in Pakistan and Imran Khan had to face defeat in it. Now the new prime minister of Pakistan is Shehbaz Sharif. Recently, many people of Pakistan are jamming the road against the government and in many places, people are gathering and demonstrating.

Pakistan is a historical and beautiful country but even today its government is unsuccessful and weak in stopping terrorism. Due to this the incidents of shooting and bomb blasts in Pakistan keep happening every day. So because of political issues and terrorism, Pakistan is an unsafe country to travel to in 2022.

Turkey

Turkey is a beautiful country and has always been on the traveler’s bucket list because of its many tourist attractions & food. But, It is always at risk of terrorist incidents. Its people say that terrorists always target the government, not the tourists. But no bomb blast happens by asking and no he tells first whether it is government or tourists. So always pay attention to your safety while traveling in Turkey.

But when I am talking about the most unsafe countries to visit in 2022, Turkey is on the list because this country has registered a maximum number of Covid cases in March-2022. Here I want to clarify that if you want to visit this country in 2022, then before visiting always check the updates about the Covid-19 travel advisory.

Ukraine

Ukraine is a beautiful country that preserves its culture and tradition. But due to the Ukraine-Russia war going on for more than the last 90 days, today Ukraine is at the top of the list of most unsafe countries in the world. Today, 90% of news channels show the Ukraine-Russia war. Russia has caused a lot of devastation in Ukraine. Most of the cities are no longer even habitable. Every day bombardments, explosions, and missiles are fired from Russia. All airspace has been closed. Even if you are from any media and need to go to your work, you have to pay attention to security. And have to be updated on a travel advisory for Ukraine.

Conclusion

The list of Unsafe Countries to visit in 2022 is on the basis of political, economic, and Covid-19 related issues going on in that country. Because of this traveling that journey can prove to be the riskiest for you. I would like to clarify here that if the situation will be normal then you can travel to some of these countries. But I also want to give advice to you that avoid these countries to travel at least in 2022. Before traveling, always research that country and your destination thoroughly, and read first the travel advisory.

As I told you that this list has been made keeping in mind some issues. There are many always unsafe countries in the rest of the world where traveling can be always painful for you.

Last but not least, Always follow the instructions while traveling in the Covid-19 pandemic whatever place you are going.

I know that you are adventurous and want to explore the world like me. However, never put yourself in danger because of your eagerness to travel to a country. Always remember the saying, “safety first”. Think before you book. Don’t sacrifice your life for a short time of pleasure. Take care and happy traveling!
