Rwanda is an appealing destination for some Egyptian travelers due to its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. Known for its mountain gorillas and stunning landscapes, the country has made significant strides in developing its tourism sector, despite facing some challenges. It may particularly attract a segment of Egypt's 111 million population.
Rwanda is generally considered safe for tourists, including those coming from Egypt. According to the Global Peace Index, Rwanda ranks 90th out of 160 countries, which is better than Egypt's ranking of 103rd. In terms of crime statistics, Rwanda has a murder rate of 3.6 per 100,000 people, compared to Egypt's 2.6. However, Rwanda scores better in organized crime indices, with lower scores indicating less crime activity. For example, Rwanda has a mafia group index of 1.0, while Egypt's is 3.0. Overall, while Rwanda has a slightly higher murder rate, it is considered safer in terms of organized crime and overall peace compared to Egypt. Tourists can generally feel secure while visiting Rwanda.
