Death Valley, northern sahara, middle east(from israel to iran), pakistan, india, australia, south africa, mexico, all have recorded 50ºC, but where would you say it's a more common occurrence? (apart from Death Valley)
And what about Europe and South America, do you think it will be reached in the near future?
Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece all-time records are all between 47ºC and 48ºC, Argentina has reached 49.1ºC

The area where 50°C are more often recorded is definitely the area between the Arabian peninsula and the Indus Valley in Pakistan and it is also the only heavily populated area where such temperatures occur on a yearly basis and among the very few where they occur at all. Unlike what might be obvious to think, 50°C are a rare occurrence outside that area (except for tiny spots like the Death Valley).
That seems to be it.
Maybe another weather American station other than Death valley, I don't know if there's any nearby/similar station there.
Plus there's probably some valley in the sahara desert that may reach such temperatures from time to time, no? It's an immense desert, with just a few weather stations
21 contries have reliable records of temperatures of at least 50.0ºC (122ºF)
USA (Death Valley: 53.9ºC)
Kuwait (Sulaibya: 53.6ºC)
Pakistan (Mojenjo-daro: 53.5ºC)
Iraq (Nassiriya: 53.0ºC)
Iran (Omidiyeh, Shushtar: 52.6ºC)
Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Khurais: 52.0ºC)
Mexico (Mexicali: 52.0ºC)
Israel (Kalya: 51.2ºC)
Jordan (Deir Alla: 51.1ºC)
Oman (Buarimi: 50.8ºC)
Australia (Oodnadatta: 50.7ºC)
Morocco/Western Sahara (Semara: 50.7ºC)
Algeria (In Salah: 50.6ºC)
Qatar (Doha: 50.4ºC)
Egypt (Kargha: 50.3ºC)
United Arab Emirates (Liwa: 50.3ºC)
China (Aydingol Lake: 50.2ºC)
Libya (Zuwarah: 50.2ºC)
Tunisia (El Borma: 50.1ºC)
Turkmenistan (Repetek: 50.1ºC)
India (Dholpur, Ganganagar: 50,0ºC)
Only the USA, Kuwait, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran have areas where it occurs frequently; normally some small spots. Kuwait is the only country that can experience temperatures over 50ºC throughout its whole territory.
The record of 49.1ºC in Argentina is wrong. The town where it was supposedly recorded is nowhere near the top hot spots of the country, and even from the National Weather Service I was told they didn't know why it was kept in the webpage. Officially the record is 48.8ºC in Rivadavia, which is very suspicious too. The highest reliable value is 47.3ºC, and I guess the top temperature in Argentina (and South America) would be around 48.0/48.5ºC.
Dallol has reached it billions of times. The hottest temperature recorded there was 63C but it wasn't considered a record because the station is not official and the area has no inhabitants nearby. A tourist also wrote on her blog that the temperature reached 64C when she checked it.
So yes, Dallol has most likely hit it several times and is by far the hottest place on Earth.

No, Dallol has recorded data for only 7 years (1960-1966) and the absolute highest didn't reach 50ºC.
The station itself brings me a lot of doubt on its quality. Anyway, Dallol is clearly the hottest place on Earth in terms of average temperature, but not in terms of absolute highest. There is no doubt about this.
No temperature of above 60ºC was recorded under standard conditions of measurement. Obviously you can get temperatures over 80ºC in the hot deserts if put the thermomether under the sun, 5 cm over the floor. I can record over 50ºC here in the summer if I do this.
I think Pakistan Has more cities in the world Which record more than 50 and many reach them almost every Summer.
1. Mohenjadaro 53.5 C
1 Larkana 53 C
2 . Sibi 53 C
3. Jacobabad 53 C.
4. Nawabshah 52.8 C
5. Peshawer 50 C
These Are just the major big cities. Many other Small cities/towns regularly record 50.
