Peru offers a rich blend of history and natural beauty that appeals to many travelers. With iconic attractions like Machu Picchu, the Andes, and the Amazon rainforest, it presents a unique experience for visitors. Given that 1.1 million Omanis travel abroad annually, a portion of them may find Peru an intriguing destination to explore.
Peru's safety for tourists, including those from Oman, is a concern when compared to Oman. According to the Global Peace Index, Peru ranks 97th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Oman's 37th position. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Peru is 5.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Oman's very low rate of 0.2. Female murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Peru at 2.1 and Oman at 0.2. The Global Organized Crime Index further highlights the differences in safety. For instance, Peru has a mafia group index of 6.0, while Oman scores 1.0, indicating a much higher presence of organized crime in Peru. Additionally, Peru scores poorly in areas such as crime networks (8.0), state crime (7.0), and resource crime (9.0), while Oman maintains lower scores across these categories. Overall, while many tourists visit Peru safely, it is advisable for travelers from Oman to stay informed and exercise caution.
