Threat to life in arabic countries
The Arab East, which Russians love as a place of rest, is causing them more and more concern as a result of recent events in the Middle East. And this is good, because, first of all, everyone must think about their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. However, practice shows that many Russians continue to visit some of the dangerous Arab countries as tourists, not listening to the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As you know, the Arab countries are very heterogeneous in all respects, including in terms of terrorist danger. In this regard, the obvious need for a list of Arab countries, which would reflect the degree of terrorist threat in them.
Safe to visit countries can be included Morocco, Oman и Emirates.
The group of countries in which the risk of being hurt by terrorist acts or even die is, but relatively small, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine и Tunisia.
The rest of the Arab countries, especially those in which military operations are conducted or acts of terror constantly occur, should not be visited without particular necessity, including my beloved Yemen.
