Syria offers significant historical and cultural appeal, making it an intriguing destination for some of Iraq's 44 million residents. Despite its challenges, the country's unique contrasts and beauty may attract a portion of Iraqi visitors.
Syria is currently considered a high-risk destination for tourists, including those from Iraq. According to the Global Peace Index, Syria ranks 153rd out of 160 countries, while Iraq is slightly better at 148th. In terms of safety, the murder rate in Syria is lower at 2.2 per 100,000 people compared to Iraq's 10.1. However, organized crime indices indicate significant challenges: Syria has a higher state crime score (10.0) compared to Iraq (8.0), and crime networks are rated worse in Syria (9.0) than in Iraq (7.5). Overall, while some crime statistics suggest lower violence in Syria, the overall safety environment remains precarious for tourists.
