Kuwait offers a unique blend of tourism opportunities, particularly appealing to affluent travelers seeking luxury experiences. Although it attracts fewer foreign tourists compared to neighboring countries, its high per visitor spending indicates a focus on quality over quantity. This makes it an intriguing destination for a segment of Brunei's population.
Kuwait is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Brunei. According to the Global Peace Index, Kuwait ranks 25th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively peaceful environment. The murder rates are low, with Kuwait at 0.3 per 100,000 people compared to Brunei's 0.5. However, there are some concerns regarding organized crime. While both countries score well on mafia presence (1.0), Kuwait has higher indices for crime networks (6.0) and state crime (6.0) compared to Brunei. Human trafficking and drug-related crimes also show higher indices in Kuwait. Overall, while Kuwait is safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise standard travel precautions.
