Morocco is an appealing destination for some Omani travelers due to its rich culture, historical cities, and stunning landscapes. With 1.1 million Omanis traveling abroad annually, a portion may be drawn to explore the unique experiences that Morocco offers.
Morocco is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Oman. It ranks 76th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, while Oman ranks higher at 37th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Morocco is 1.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Oman's very low rate of 0.2. Additionally, while both countries have a mafia index of 1.0 (indicating low presence of organized crime), Morocco has higher scores in other crime categories, such as crime networks (6.5 for Morocco vs. 5.0 for Oman) and state crime (7.0 for Morocco vs. 4.0 for Oman). Overall, while Morocco is safe for tourists, it does have higher crime rates compared to Oman, particularly in certain organized crime areas. Tourists are advised to take standard safety precautions while traveling.
