Spain is a highly appealing destination for many Kuwaitis, thanks to its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. As the third most visited country globally, it offers a captivating mix of historical heritage and natural beauty, making it attractive to a segment of Kuwait's 4 million population.
Spain is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Kuwait. According to the Global Peace Index, Spain ranks 23rd out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, comparable to Kuwait's ranking of 25th. In terms of specific crime statistics, Spain has a murder rate of 0.6 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Kuwait's rate of 0.3. However, female murder rates are lower in Spain (0.4) compared to Kuwait (1.1). While Spain does face challenges with organized crime, it is important to note that Kuwait also has significant issues in this area. For example, Spain has a higher index for foreign crime (7.5) compared to Kuwait (3.5), but Kuwait has higher indices for human trafficking (8.0) and human smuggling (7.0). Overall, while there are some differences in crime statistics, both Spain and Kuwait are relatively safe, and tourists from Kuwait can feel secure while visiting Spain.
