Unwelcome guests...?

My father has been calling recently and has been asking us if he can come to visit. I don't have many objections to this, except the area where we live is a slightly boring place. There isn't much to do here. There was an odd suggestion from my father: "Can I stay at the guest bedroom in your house?" Um, what? Hotels here are cheap and they give better breakfast than what me and my wife could offer at home.
I told my mom to call me yesterday when my dad is out of the house. She did just that. I asked her, "When is dad heading back to the middle east?" And the date range that she stated was just a couple of weeks before his proposed visit to us. I asked her, "Did he mention anything about visiting us?" She said, "Nope."
I told my wife about this and both of us immediately thought of one person: "Ahmed." We are already taking precautions against this. Extreme precautions that no one else should have to take. Like, I'm thinking of sending my wife to a country where she can travel but he cannot, then picking up my father at the airport and taking him with me.
