Top Tourist Spots Americans Can’t Visit
"Looking for someplace special to spend the Fourth of July? FP investigates five fabulous destinations where a summer getaway is next to impossible."
That's a little misleading. Some of these destinations are actually possible for Americans to visit, if you really want to, and at least one is simply unwise: "Because a good day in Somalia is the worst day of your life almost anywhere else."
From http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/somalia/:
"A traveller to Somalia is spoilt for choice in the number of things that can go wrong."
But as the Foreign Policy article puts it: "Still, the water is lovely."

I was thinking of trying the Kish Island visa dodge, but I'm not sure it'll work for US passport holders. It might work for a UK passport holder, however, and Kish is a short flight from the Emirates.
