Oman boasts stunning landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for some Kuwaiti travelers. While the number of foreign visitors is relatively modest compared to larger tourism markets, Oman offers a unique experience that can attract a segment of Kuwait's 4 million population.
Oman is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Kuwait. According to the Global Peace Index, Oman ranks 37th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, although it is slightly less safe than Kuwait, which ranks 25th. In terms of crime statistics, Oman has a lower murder rate at 0.2 per 100,000 people compared to Kuwait's 0.3. Additionally, both countries have similar scores for mafia activity (1.0), but Oman scores better in state crime (4.0 vs. Kuwait's 6.0) and human smuggling (4.0 vs. Kuwait's 6.5). Overall, while Kuwait is statistically safer, Oman remains a secure option for travelers.
