Kazakhstan offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Omani travelers. With 1.1 million Omanis traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Kazakhstan's diverse landscapes and rich heritage intriguing, despite the country's currently modest tourist arrival numbers.
Kazakhstan is considered relatively safe for tourists, ranking 57th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is less safe compared to Oman, which ranks 37th. The murder rate in Kazakhstan is 3.2 per 100,000 people, significantly higher than Oman's rate of 0.2. In terms of organized crime, Oman scores better across various categories, such as mafia presence and crime networks. For example, Oman has a mafia index of 1.0 compared to Kazakhstan's 3.5. While Kazakhstan has some challenges, it remains a popular destination for tourists, and with standard precautions, visitors from Oman can enjoy their stay safely.
