Malta offers a compelling blend of history, culture, and modern tourism, making it an appealing destination for some of Kuwait's 4 million residents. Its strategic Mediterranean location and rich historical sites attract around one million international visitors annually, suggesting that it could be a noteworthy option for Kuwaiti travelers.
Malta is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Kuwait. It ranks 26th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, though specific data for Kuwait is not available. In terms of murder rates, both countries have low figures: Kuwait at 0.3 and Malta at 0.4 per 100,000 people. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Kuwait scores slightly better in several categories, such as mafia presence (1.0 vs. Malta's 1.5) and human trafficking (8.0 vs. Malta's 5.0). However, Malta has lower scores in areas like arms trafficking (2.5) and flora crime (1.0), indicating a relatively lower risk in those areas. Overall, while there are some differences in crime statistics, both Malta and Kuwait maintain low crime rates, making Malta a safe destination for Kuwaiti tourists.
