Summary:
1. Mexico (Juarez): The resorts are the safest place to stay, but for those who want to explore all New Mexico has to offer, you make yourself vulnerable to kidnappings, robberies, and carjackings. You might think that you will be safe with the police, but with all the organized crime that Mexico is involved with, safety can be at its minimum for tourists.

2. Russia (Karabash): If you do decide to travel to Russia, make sure you avoid traveling to Karabash. That area has been known for its ongoing civil and political tension as well as criminal gang activity.

3. Thailand (Pattaya): As a tourist, you will want to try different types of foods, but because of the pollution and dirt that surrounds the city, eating the wrong thing will give you food poisoning and ruin your trip. It’s best to eat like the locals do.

4. Egypt (Cairo): Tourists face the dangers of kidnapping and terrorist threats throughout the country and are advised not to leave the Cairo metropolitan area. The reason is that the country is constantly facing political instability, so the chances of violent protests are high.
