Iran offers a compelling experience for visitors from Iraq, thanks to its rich history and diverse landscapes. Although the volume of foreign tourists is relatively modest, recent trends indicate a shift in tourism development. A segment of Iraq's 44 million population may find Iran to be an appealing destination.
Iran is generally considered safer for tourists coming from Iraq, based on various safety metrics. According to the Global Peace Index, Iran ranks 131st out of 160 countries, while Iraq ranks lower at 148th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Iran is significantly lower than in Iraq, with Iran at 2.2 per 100,000 people compared to Iraq's 10.1. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Iran at 0.6 and Iraq at 3.3. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face challenges, Iran has slightly better scores in several areas. For instance, the index for mafia groups is 7.0 in Iran compared to 6.5 in Iraq, and while state crime is rated worse in Iran (9.5) than in Iraq (8.0), foreign crime is rated better in Iran (5.0) than in Iraq (9.0). Overall, while there are safety concerns in both countries, Iran presents a relatively safer environment for tourists compared to Iraq.
