Belgium is an appealing destination for some Djiboutians, thanks to its rich cultural heritage, historical architecture, and vibrant cities like Brussels, Bruges, and Antwerp. The country's unique charm and diverse attractions make it a noteworthy option for a segment of Djibouti's population of around one million.
Belgium is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Djibouti. According to the Global Peace Index, Belgium ranks 16th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety compared to Djibouti, which ranks 117th. In terms of crime statistics, Belgium has a low murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, while specific data for Djibouti is not available. Additionally, Belgium has lower indices for organized crime compared to Djibouti in several categories, such as state crime (Belgium 2.0 vs. Djibouti 5.0) and human trafficking (Belgium 5.0 vs. Djibouti 6.0). However, it's worth noting that Belgium ranks 39th in safety for walking alone at night among European countries, which suggests some caution is advisable in certain areas. Overall, tourists from Djibouti can expect a safer environment in Belgium compared to their home country.
