Yemen offers a unique appeal for visitors from Iraq, showcasing a rich history and stunning landscapes. Despite facing challenges, it may attract a segment of Iraq's 44 million population interested in exploring its cultural heritage.
Yemen is currently considered very unsafe for tourists, ranking 160th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, which is lower than Iraq's ranking of 148th. While Yemen's murder rate is lower at 6.8 per 100,000 people compared to Iraq's 10.1, the overall security situation remains precarious. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, Yemen scores worse than Iraq in several areas, including mafia groups (Yemen 8.0 vs. Iraq 6.5) and crime networks (Yemen 7.0 vs. Iraq 7.5). Additionally, Yemen faces significant challenges with human trafficking (Yemen 8.5) and arms trafficking (both countries at 9.0). Given these factors, tourists from Iraq should exercise extreme caution and consider the risks before traveling to Yemen.
