Sudan offers a unique blend of historical richness and archaeological attractions, making it an intriguing destination for some Portuguese travelers. With around 1 million Portuguese traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Sudan appealing due to its ancient heritage and contemporary features.
Sudan is generally considered to be less safe for tourists compared to Portugal. While Portugal ranks 7th in the Global Peace Index and has a low murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, Sudan ranks 159th out of 160 countries, with a significantly higher murder rate of 5.1 per 100,000 people. Moreover, various crime indices reflect higher levels of organized crime and violence in Sudan. For instance, Sudan scores worse in categories such as state crime (8.0) and human trafficking (8.0) compared to Portugal's scores of 4.5 in the same categories. Given these statistics, tourists from Portugal should exercise caution when considering travel to Sudan, as the safety environment is markedly different.
