The Netherlands is an appealing destination for some Djiboutians, thanks to its famous canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. Its mix of urban sophistication and rural charm draws millions of tourists annually, making it a noteworthy option for a segment of Djibouti's population of one million.
The Netherlands is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Djibouti. It ranks 9th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. According to the Global Peace Index, it is one of the safest countries globally, ranked 18th out of 160 countries, significantly safer than Djibouti, which ranks 117th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is very low at 0.7 per 100,000 people, while specific data for Djibouti is not available. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face organized crime, the Netherlands has lower indices in several categories, suggesting a more stable environment. Overall, tourists from Djibouti can feel relatively safe when visiting the Netherlands, given its favorable safety rankings and low crime rates.
