I choose Marble Bar. Despite the summer wet season, which gets 3 times as much rain as our summer monsoon, it's kind of like a tropical version of Phoenix here
For me, Death Valley. 47ºC average highs in summer, but with dew points possibly as low as 0ºC normally (4% humidity), and sun exposure reduced by being below sea level. Total precipitation of 5 cm.
Even semi-arid Denver sees <10% humidity occasionally (not in proximity to irrigation) and has an honestly pathetic record high of 41ºC (likely due to elevation), so it doesn't even have hellish temperatures that reduce relative humidity further.
Marble Bar, Bandar Abbas: Potentially lethal dew points. Significant summer rain in Marble Bar, and 26ºC mean summer dew points in Bandar Abbas.
Dallol: 34ºC average across the year, and possibly having recorded lethal dew points?
It's tough choice, hecause I hate BWh climates. I would prefer Orcadas Base, Iqaluit or Yakutsk to any of this climates. All climates are too hot and sunny year-round.
I would go for Marble Bar, because it has rain in summer. I could go outdoors at night. Usually out of 8:00 - 16:30 range sun isn't dangerous.
Marble Bar and Death Valley are F climates.
Bandar Abbas and Dallol are Z climates.
