He bought a piece of derelict land and built a stunning Arabic-style park with water, small bridges, green plants and cacti.

It's dangerous to live, sure, but the bad stuff can just as easily happen at home or when you least expect it. Why should you feel bad about your worries and what is life worth if you don't dare to live it?

Warnings about frightening dangers in holiday destinations are a regular occurrence. The latest: cube jellyfish in Thailand and sharks in Egypt. Scary, of course. But are we really focusing on the right risks?
