Nigeria is an appealing destination for some Mauritanians, given its vibrant culture and beautiful landscapes. However, the overall tourist arrivals remain moderate, indicating that while it has attractions, it may not be a top choice for the entire Mauritanian population of 5 million.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Nigeria for tourists coming from Mauritania?
Nigeria presents certain safety concerns for tourists, particularly when compared to Mauritania. According to the Global Peace Index, Nigeria ranks 144th out of 160 countries, indicating a lower level of safety than Mauritania, which ranks 93rd. Crime statistics further highlight these differences. The murder rate in Nigeria is significantly higher at 22.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Mauritania's low rate of 1.0.
