Dubai - nothing to see, just high rise buildings and huge 8 lane motorways.
Luxor, Egypt - a hovel, and constantly harassed by shop keepers (though absolutely loved the Nile Cruise we went on and can thoroughly recommend it).
Benidorm - just the pits.
New York in summer - searing heat and it smelt dreadful (all those industrial size bins at the back of food outlets stunk to high heaven) and the local people were so abrupt and unfriendly.
Miami - it felt quite threatening and on the taxi journey to our hotel saw some really deprived areas.
In defence of some other places mentioned on this thread - love Turkey (try Kalkan or Kas, gorgeous places), never been pick-pocketed on our numerous visits to Rome and have had lovely holidays in Portugal (Lisbon and Lagos). Just goes to show, we are all very different!
