Kuwait offers a unique blend of tourism assets that may appeal to some Bahraini visitors. While it attracts fewer foreign tourists than its neighbors, it stands out due to high spending per visitor, indicating a preference for luxury experiences. With around 500,000 Bahrainis traveling abroad annually, a portion of this group may find Kuwait an appealing destination.
Kuwait is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Bahrain. According to the Global Peace Index, Kuwait ranks 25th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Bahrain, which ranks 79th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Kuwait is 0.3 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Bahrain's rate of 0.1. However, the rates for female murders show a more significant difference, with Kuwait at 1.1 compared to Bahrain's 0.2. The Global Organized Crime Index rates both countries similarly for mafia groups (1.0), but Kuwait has higher indices for state crime (6.0) and human trafficking (8.0) compared to Bahrain. Overall, while Kuwait has some crime concerns, it is statistically safer than Bahrain in several aspects, making it a viable option for tourists.
