Bahrain offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern attractions, making it an appealing destination for Emirati visitors. With its vibrant markets and rich pearl diving history, it attracts 2.2 million international tourists annually. Given that 6.3 million Emiratis travel abroad each year, a notable portion may find Bahrain an interesting option for their travels.
Bahrain is generally considered a safe destination for tourists from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to the Global Peace Index, Bahrain ranks 79th out of 160 countries, while the UAE ranks higher at 52nd. In terms of crime statistics, Bahrain has a lower murder rate of 0.1 per 100,000 people compared to the UAE's 0.5. While both countries have similar scores for mafia and organized crime indices, Bahrain shows slightly better performance in state crime (4.0) compared to the UAE (6.0). Other crime-related indices also indicate that Bahrain has lower scores in areas like human trafficking and drug trade compared to the UAE. Overall, while Bahrain is safe, it is advisable for tourists to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, as they would in any travel destination.
