Oman offers stunning landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for Belgian travelers seeking unique experiences. While the number of foreign visitors is lower than that of major tourist destinations, its distinct charm could attract a segment of the 8.6 million Belgians who travel abroad annually.
Oman is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Belgium. According to the Global Peace Index, Oman ranks 37th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety. In comparison, Belgium ranks 16th, making it safer in terms of overall peace. When looking at crime statistics, Oman has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people compared to Belgium's rate of 1.1. Both countries have the same female murder rate of 0.2. In terms of organized crime, Oman scores better in certain areas, such as mafia groups (Oman 1.0 vs. Belgium 3.0) and foreign crime (Oman 3.5 vs. Belgium 5.0). However, Belgium has lower scores in drug-related crimes compared to Oman. Overall, while Belgium has a higher safety ranking, Oman remains a safe choice for tourists, with lower violent crime rates and a peaceful environment.
