Iran offers a rich historical and diverse landscape, making it an appealing destination for some Lebanese visitors. Although the overall number of foreign tourists is modest, there is potential interest among a segment of Lebanon's 6 million population.
Iran is considered to be relatively safe for tourists, with a Global Peace Index ranking of 131st out of 160 countries, closely following Lebanon at 132nd. The murder rates are similar, with Lebanon at 1.9 per 100,000 people and Iran at 2.2. In terms of organized crime, Lebanon generally has higher indices than Iran across various categories, such as mafia groups (6.0 for Lebanon vs. 7.0 for Iran) and state crime (9.5 for both). However, Iran has a lower score for foreign crime (5.0) compared to Lebanon (8.0). Overall, both countries face challenges regarding crime, but the safety levels for tourists from Lebanon in Iran are comparable to those in Lebanon itself.
