Are there any popular places/ countries that just have zero appeal to you?

I don’t get the Dubai thing. Admittedly, I have never been but it looks essentially like a giant shiny shopping centre in the middle of the desert. I really don’t get the appeal. Obviously, there’s parts of the world that are a no-go but is there any popular places that you’d just rather not bother with?

Edit:

Wow! So one hour in and the top three look to be…

  1. Dubai (quite easily) shiny and soulless, air conditioned, plastic hell apparently!

  2. US -deranged and getting worse.

  3. Australia - mostly due to the travel and the killer everything.

New edit!

5 hours in and Paris has definitely entered the conversation! Smell, unwelcoming and crime ridden seem to be reasons. I always thought it was ok!

Dubai and the US taking most of the heat though. It will be interesting (for me at least, sad old git that I am) to see what happens to the number of people visiting the US over the next 4 years. There quite a few from this little post that have cancelled or changed their minds.
