Sweden offers a captivating experience for visitors, featuring stunning landscapes and lively cities, supported by a strong tourism infrastructure. While it attracts a modest number of international tourists, its appeal lies in the quality of experiences rather than sheer volume. This makes it an intriguing option for a segment of Egypt's population of 111 million.
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Egypt. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, especially compared to Egypt, which ranks 103rd. In terms of crime statistics, Sweden has a lower murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Egypt's 2.6. Both countries have the same female murder rate of 0.5. Regarding organized crime, Sweden scores better in state crime (2.5) compared to Egypt (8.0), suggesting a more stable environment. However, both countries have similar scores for crime networks and human smuggling. While Sweden is ranked 36th among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, it remains a safer option overall compared to Egypt. Tourists should exercise general safety precautions, as they would in any country.
