China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and diverse natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Egyptians. Despite fluctuations in tourist arrivals, it remains a significant player in global tourism, attracting a portion of Egypt's 111 million population.
China is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Egypt. According to the Global Peace Index, China ranks 87th out of 160 countries, which is better than Egypt's ranking of 103rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in China is significantly lower at 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to Egypt's 2.6. However, organized crime indices indicate some concerns: while China has a higher score for mafia groups (7.0) and crime networks (7.5) compared to Egypt, it performs better in terms of arms trafficking (2.5) and foreign crime (3.0). Overall, while there are some organized crime issues in both countries, tourists can generally feel safe in China.
