Syria offers significant historical and cultural attractions, making it a potentially intriguing destination for some of Senegal's 17 million residents. However, its recent turbulent history may deter many travelers.
Syria is currently considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Senegal. According to the Global Peace Index, Syria ranks 153rd out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Senegal's ranking of 82nd. The murder rate in Syria is 2.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Senegal's low rate of 0.3. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates higher levels of organized crime in Syria, with indices showing that state crime (10.0) and crime networks (9.0) are particularly concerning. In contrast, Senegal has much lower scores in these areas, reflecting a safer environment for tourists. Overall, the security situation in Syria poses significant risks for travelers.
