The 11 hottest towns, cities and places in the world - Death Valley to an 80C desert

We all like the sun on our backs, and most of us enjoy the warmer weather, especially when it means spending time outdoors, going to the beach, or simply relaxing in a park. However, there are places on Earth where the heat is so intense that it becomes almost unbearable, making them some of the least likely destinations for a relaxing vacation. These scorching locations experience extreme temperatures that can be dangerous and inhospitable for both humans and animals. The ground temperatures in some of these locations can even reach up to 70°C (158°F), hot enough to fry an egg!

These extreme climates create harsh living conditions with little vegetation or wildlife. While adventurers may seek out these destinations for their unique landscapes and challenging environments, for most people, these 11 hottest places on Earth will never make it onto their destination wish list due to their unforgiving heat.
