Russia offers a rich tapestry of cultural and natural attractions, making it an intriguing destination for some of Kuwait's 4 million residents. While it attracts around 6.4 million foreign visitors each year, its appeal lies in the diversity of experiences available rather than just visitor numbers.
Russia's safety for tourists from Kuwait presents some concerns. According to safety rankings, Russia is 30th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. In terms of overall safety, the Global Peace Index ranks Russia 154th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Kuwait, which ranks 25th. Crime statistics indicate a higher risk in Russia, with a murder rate of 6.8 per 100,000 people compared to Kuwait's 0.3. Additionally, female murder rates are also higher in Russia (3.3) than in Kuwait (1.1). The Global Organized Crime Index shows that Russia has more significant challenges with organized crime, scoring worse than Kuwait in various categories, including mafia presence and state crime. Overall, while many tourists visit Russia, those coming from Kuwait should be aware of the higher crime rates and safety concerns.
