Australia is an appealing destination for some Omani travelers due to its breathtaking landscapes and diverse tourism offerings. With 1.1 million Omanis traveling internationally each year, a portion may be inclined to explore the unique experiences that Australia has to offer.
Australia is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Oman. According to the Global Peace Index, Australia ranks 19th out of 160 countries, making it one of the safest countries in the world, and it is ranked safer than Oman, which is 37th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Australia is 0.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Oman's rate of 0.2. While Australia has a higher murder rate, it is important to note that both rates are relatively low. Regarding organized crime, Oman scores better in several categories, such as mafia groups and human trafficking, but Australia has lower scores in state crime and resource crime, indicating a different crime landscape. Overall, while there are some differences in crime rates and types, Australia remains a safe and welcoming place for tourists.
