Egypt is an appealing destination for some of the 11 million people in South Sudan, thanks to its rich history and cultural significance. Despite recent fluctuations in its tourism sector, Egypt continues to attract millions of visitors annually, offering opportunities for cultural exchange and economic engagement.
Egypt is generally safer for tourists compared to South Sudan. According to the Global Peace Index, Egypt is ranked 103rd out of 160 countries, while South Sudan is ranked 158th. The murder rate in Egypt is significantly lower at 2.6 per 100,000 people, compared to South Sudan's 14.9.

For example, the mafia group index is 3.0 for Egypt compared to 4.5 for South Sudan, and the crime networks score is 5.5 for Egypt versus 8.0 for South Sudan. While no destination is without risks, tourists from South Sudan may find Egypt to be a relatively safer option for travel.
