Syria offers a unique blend of historical significance and natural beauty, making it potentially appealing to some Polish travelers. With 6.2 million Poles traveling abroad annually, a portion may find the contrasts and rich culture of Syria intriguing despite the country's challenging past.
Syria is currently considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Poland. According to the Global Peace Index, Syria ranks 153rd out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Poland, which ranks 32nd. Additionally, the murder rate in Syria is 2.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Poland's low rate of 0.7. Crime statistics further highlight the risks: Syria has higher indices for organized crime, with a score of 4.5 for mafia groups and 9.0 for crime networks, compared to Poland's much lower scores of 2.0 and 5.5, respectively. The situation regarding state crime and human trafficking is also concerning, with Syria receiving the worst scores (10.0 for state crime and 8.5 for human trafficking). Overall, due to these factors, it is advisable for Polish tourists to avoid traveling to Syria at this time.
