Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Yemen as a destination for visitors from Sweden?
Yemen offers a unique appeal for Swedish visitors interested in its rich history and stunning landscapes. While the country faces various challenges, it could attract a segment of the 4.2 million Swedes who travel abroad annually.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Yemen for tourists coming from Sweden?
Yemen is currently considered unsafe for tourists, including those from Sweden. According to the Global Peace Index, Yemen ranks 160th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of insecurity. In comparison, Sweden ranks 39th, reflecting a much safer environment. Crime statistics further highlight the risks: Yemen has a murder rate of 6.8 per 100,000 people, significantly higher than Sweden's rate of 1.1. Additionally, various indices from the Global Organized Crime Index show that Yemen scores poorly in categories such as mafia groups (8.0), crime networks (7.0), and human trafficking (8.5), compared to Sweden's much better scores. Given these factors, it is advisable for tourists to avoid traveling to Yemen due to the high levels of violence and organized crime.
