Bahrain offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Belgian travelers. With 2.2 million international visitors annually, its vibrant markets and rich cultural heritage could attract a portion of the 8.6 million Belgians who travel abroad each year.
Bahrain is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Belgium. According to the Global Peace Index, Bahrain ranks 79th out of 160 countries, while Belgium ranks significantly higher at 16th. In terms of crime statistics, Bahrain has a notably low murder rate of 0.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Belgium's 1.1. However, Belgium has a better overall safety ranking when it comes to walking alone at night, where it ranks 39th among 40 European countries, while data for Bahrain is not available. Regarding organized crime, Bahrain scores better in mafia presence (1.0) compared to Belgium (3.0), but Belgium has lower indices for crime networks and state crime. Overall, while Bahrain is safe for tourists, travelers should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as they would in any foreign country.
