Egypt is an appealing destination for some Maltese travelers, given its rich history and cultural significance. With around 200,000 Maltese traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Egypt's offerings intriguing, despite fluctuations in its tourism sector.
Egypt's safety for tourists coming from Malta can be assessed through various statistics. Malta has a low murder rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people, while Egypt's rate is higher at 2.6. In terms of safety while walking alone at night, Malta ranks 26th among 40 European countries, but there is no comparable data for Egypt. According to the Global Peace Index, Egypt is ranked 103rd out of 160 countries, indicating a moderate level of safety. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Malta generally has better scores across various crime categories compared to Egypt, particularly in mafia presence and arms trafficking. While Malta is considered relatively safe, travelers should exercise standard precautions when visiting Egypt, as crime rates are higher and the overall safety ranking is lower.
