Georgia has become an appealing destination for a diverse range of international visitors, thanks to its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Despite recent fluctuations in visitor numbers, the country's charm continues to attract tourists. It could be particularly interesting for a segment of Egypt's 111 million population.
Georgia is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Egypt. According to the Global Peace Index, Georgia ranks 98th out of 160 countries, while Egypt ranks 103rd, indicating similar levels of safety. In terms of crime statistics, Georgia has a lower murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people compared to Egypt's 2.6. However, the rate of female murders is higher in Georgia at 1.2 compared to Egypt's 0.5. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Georgia performs better in various crime categories, with lower scores indicating less organized crime. For example, Georgia scores 2.5 for mafia groups, compared to Egypt's 3.0, and both countries have similar scores for drug-related crimes. Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Georgia is considered a safe destination for tourists from Egypt.
