Lebanon offers a unique blend of cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes, and modern attractions, making it an appealing destination for some Turkish travelers. With 2.7 million Turks traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Lebanon an interesting choice despite recent fluctuations in tourist numbers.
Lebanon's safety for tourists from Türkiye can be summarized as follows: While Türkiye is ranked 31st for safety among 40 European countries regarding walking alone at night, there is no specific data for Lebanon in this regard. According to the Global Peace Index, Lebanon is ranked 132nd out of 160 countries, slightly better than Türkiye's 137th position. In terms of murder rates, Lebanon has a lower rate at 1.9 per 100,000 people compared to Türkiye's 2.5. Both countries report the same rate for female murders at 1.0 per 100,000 people. Regarding organized crime, Türkiye generally has higher indices (worse ratings) across various categories compared to Lebanon, except for mafia groups and human smuggling, where Lebanon scores better. Overall, while both countries face safety challenges, Lebanon's lower murder rate and certain organized crime indices may suggest a comparable level of safety for tourists. However, travelers should remain vigilant and stay informed about local conditions.
