Death Valley, California, USA
As the hottest place on earth, Death Valley is not for the faint of heart. I visited Death Valley in the summer and the temperature was consistently above 100°F (37.8°C) during the day. At night, it only cooled down to around 80°F (26.7°C). Needless to say, it was a challenge to stay cool and hydrated.
I recommend bringing plenty of water and electrolyte drinks to stay hydrated, wearing a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun, and taking breaks in air-conditioned areas if possible. It’s also important to avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day.
Dasht-e Lut, Iran
Dasht-e Lut is known for its stunning sand dunes and extreme heat. I visited this desert in the summer and the temperature was consistently above 120°F (48.9°C) during the day. The sand was so hot that it was difficult to walk on without shoes.
If you’re planning to visit Dasht-e Lut, I recommend bringing shoes that can protect your feet from the hot sand, wearing loose-fitting and breathable clothing, and bringing plenty of water and electrolyte drinks to stay hydrated. It’s also important to take breaks in shaded areas and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Turpan Basin, China
Turpan Basin is a unique and beautiful destination, but it’s also incredibly hot. I visited this area in the summer and the temperature was consistently above 100°F (37.8°C) during the day. The dry heat made it difficult to breathe at times.

Kebili, Tunisia
Kebili is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert, but it’s also incredibly hot. I visited this area in the summer and the temperature was consistently above 100°F (37.8°C) during the day. The dry heat made it difficult to be outside for extended periods of time.
