Peru offers a rich blend of history and natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for some of Qatar's approximately 3 million residents. Key attractions like Machu Picchu, the Andes, and the Amazon rainforest highlight the unique experiences available in the country.
Peru is generally considered less safe for tourists compared to Qatar. According to the Global Peace Index, Peru ranks 97th out of 160 countries, while Qatar ranks 29th. The murder rate in Peru is significantly higher at 5.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Qatar's low rate of 0.3. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Peru faces challenges with organized crime, scoring 6.0 for mafia groups and 8.0 for crime networks, while Qatar scores 1.0 and 6.0 respectively. Other crime-related indices also show that Peru has higher risks in various categories, such as resource crime (9.0) and cocaine trade (9.0). Overall, while many tourists visit Peru safely, it is advisable for those coming from Qatar to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
