Below are some places around the world that have been deemed too hot for a summer holiday, where temperatures reach the 40’s and that factor 50 suncream just won’t cut it… Here are my top five hottest country in the world…

1. DEATH VALLEY – USA

Death Valley in the USA is well known as one of the hottest places on Earth, yet is still really popular with tourists who all want to be able to say they have braved the heat and survived to tell the tale!

2. IRAN, MIDDLE EAST

Iran, in the Middle East, is another country with a plethora of sweltering towns and cities. Ahvaz is one of the most well known ‘temperature towns’ with average temperatures of around 46 degree Celsius. Wow… Not all bad news though – if you’re looking for a nose job then you’re in the right place. Many tourists visit Iran on Cosmetic Surgery holidays, leading to Iran being known as the ‘nose job capital of the world!’

Phoenix, Arizona is another sweltering location in the USA with a penchant for lofty temperatures. It’s a surprisingly popular tourist destination, largely due to its popular NBA and NHL sports teams, the Phoenix Suns and the Arizona Coyotes.
