Oman boasts stunning landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, making it an appealing destination for Turkish travelers. While it attracts fewer visitors than major global tourism hotspots, its unique offerings can captivate a segment of the 2.7 million Turks who travel abroad annually.
Oman is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Türkiye. According to the Global Peace Index, Oman ranks 37th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety compared to Türkiye, which ranks 137th. In terms of crime statistics, Oman has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Türkiye's rate of 2.5. Additionally, organized crime indices show that Oman scores much better across various categories, such as mafia groups (Oman: 1.0 vs. Türkiye: 8.0) and state crime (Oman: 4.0 vs. Türkiye: 9.0). Overall, while no destination is without risks, Oman is statistically safer than Türkiye, making it a favorable choice for tourists.
