Oman offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for some French travelers. While the number of foreign visitors is modest compared to larger tourism markets, the country's distinctiveness can attract a portion of the 13.7 million French citizens who travel abroad annually.
Oman is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from France. While France ranks 40th among European countries for safety when walking alone at night, Oman is ranked 37th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a higher level of safety compared to France, which is ranked 84th. In terms of crime statistics, Oman has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.2 per 100,000 people, compared to France's rate of 1.1. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index shows that Oman scores better in several categories, particularly in mafia groups (Oman 1.0 vs. France 6.0) and cocaine trade (Oman 3.0 vs. France 6.5). Overall, tourists from France can feel secure visiting Oman, as it has lower crime rates and is regarded as a peaceful country.
