Crime Index, according to Numbeo, estimates the overall crime level in a given city or country. A country with low crime rates will have a low crime index, indicating safety. The safety index, on the other hand, is diametrically opposed to the crime index. A city is considered very safe if it has a high safety index.
Additionally, Oman ranked fifth on the list, while Saudi Arabia took the twelfth position.
In 2021, Oman was named among the top five safest countries in the world for expatriates, according to a global report that ranks countries on the basis of how easy they are for foreign nationals to live in.
Oman is ranked fifth among 59 of the countries polled, with only the UAE (ranked third) finishing above it among the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, according to the Expat Insider report by Inter Nations.
