Mali offers a unique blend of history and culture that can appeal to adventurous travelers, including some Lebanese visitors. Although it attracts a relatively small number of tourists each year, those who do visit tend to engage deeply with the local culture and landscapes. This makes Mali an intriguing option for a segment of Lebanon's population of 6 million.
Mali is generally considered less safe for tourists compared to Lebanon. According to the Global Peace Index, Mali ranks 151st out of 160 countries, while Lebanon is ranked 132nd. Although specific murder rates for Mali are not available, Lebanon has a low murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, Lebanon has higher indices in several categories, indicating a more significant presence of crime networks and state crime, with scores of 9.5 for state crime compared to Mali's 8.5. However, Mali scores better in terms of mafia groups (3.0 for Mali vs. 6.0 for Lebanon) and the heroin trade (3.0 for Mali vs. 4.0 for Lebanon). Overall, tourists from Lebanon should exercise caution when considering travel to Mali due to the country's lower safety ranking and the potential risks associated with crime.
