Turkmenistan offers a unique and understated appeal for visitors from Iran, characterized by its exclusivity and subtle elegance rather than mass tourism. The country features a limited but quality selection of accommodations, with a significant number of 4 and 5-star hotels. Given that 1.6 million Iranians travel abroad annually, a portion of these travelers may find Turkmenistan an intriguing destination.
Turkmenistan is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Iran. According to the Global Peace Index, Turkmenistan ranks 80th out of 160 countries, while Iran is ranked lower at 131st. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Turkmenistan is 4.2 per 100,000 people, compared to Iran's 2.2. However, the organized crime indices indicate that Turkmenistan has lower scores in several categories, suggesting less organized crime activity compared to Iran. For example, Turkmenistan scores 3.0 for mafia groups and 3.5 for crime networks, while Iran scores 7.0 and 7.5 respectively. Overall, while Turkmenistan has a higher murder rate, it is perceived as safer in terms of organized crime and general safety compared to Iran. Tourists should still exercise standard precautions while traveling.
