Ireland offers enchanting landscapes and a rich cultural experience, making it an appealing destination for some of Sudan's 47 million residents. The country's lush countryside, historic ruins, and unique way of life attract millions of international visitors annually.
Ireland is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Sudan. According to the Global Peace Index, Ireland ranks 2nd out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety. In contrast, Sudan ranks 159th, highlighting significant safety concerns. While Ireland ranks 35th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, it remains much safer overall than Sudan. The murder rate in Ireland is 0.4 per 100,000 people, compared to Sudan's 5.1. Additionally, crime indices from the Global Organized Crime Index show that Ireland has lower scores in various crime categories compared to Sudan, indicating a safer environment. For example, Ireland has a state crime index of 3.0 versus Sudan's 8.0, and a human trafficking index of 4.5 compared to Sudan's 8.0. Overall, tourists from Sudan can expect a safer experience in Ireland, though they should still exercise general safety precautions while traveling.
