Oman offers stunning landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for Finnish travelers. While it attracts fewer visitors than larger tourist hotspots, its unique offerings could entice some of the 1.8 million Finns who travel abroad annually to consider Oman as a travel option.
Oman is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Finland. While Finland ranks 8th in safety for walking alone at night among European countries, there is no specific data for Oman in this regard. According to the Global Peace Index, Oman is ranked 37th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively safe environment, though it is not as safe as Finland, which ranks 13th. In terms of crime statistics, Oman has a notably low murder rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Finland's 1.6. This trend continues with female murder rates, where both countries have low figures, with Oman again at 0.2. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Oman has lower scores for organized crime compared to Finland, particularly in mafia groups and state crime, where Oman scores 1.0 and 4.0 respectively, while Finland scores 3.0 and 1.5. However, Oman does have higher scores in areas like human trafficking and arms trafficking. Overall, while Oman is safe, tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and exercise common sense, as they would in any travel destination.
