The recorded world's temperature extremes are:
58.0 °C (136.4 °F), recorded in Al Aziziyah, Libya, on 13 September 1922
-89.2 °C (-129 °F), recorded in Vostok, Antarctica, on 21 July 1983

There are many places on earth that are plenty hot - record-breaking hot. In fact, there's a good chance on the day this record-breaking temperature was recorded by a meteorological station in El Azizia in 1922 there were other places hundreds of miles away that were even hotter. In all likelihood, this record temperature has been exceeded since then in many places on earth, but we have no official records of the temperatures. It is important to note that when atmospheric temperatures are recorded it is not the surface temperature, where it can sometimes reach 150° F/ 66° C, but rather the air temperature at about 5 feet (1.6 m) above the surface in an enclosed shelter. Of course, it's important that the temperature sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight - the shelter is louvered to permit air flow across the sensor. Most humans don't 'hang out' where some of the hottest temperatures on earth are regularly experienced so there aren't a lot of meterological stations in these places to reliably record extreme temperatures.
Desert Lands
so final answer is that EL azizia is the hottest place on earth

Probably the Sahara desert somewhere. When I worked in Libya and Algeria the temperatures were often above 50 DEGC. The answer about Libya is technically true but that would be the highest recorded and verified. My feeling is that there are certainly higher temperatures out there but no-one wants to know.
The official temperatures in Algeria never get above 50 degrees because above 50 degrees people have to stop working. Personally I recorded 56 degrees.

El Azzizia, Libya holds the world's record temperature.
Dallol, Ethiopia is the hottest place on average year round, 34c

The hottest place on the planet is at the farthest colder temperature in an direction other than that.
