A safety metal halide lamp with a high luminous efficiency and a long lamp life is provided. The metal halide lamp includes an arc tube made of light-transmissive ceramic, in which a pair of electrodes is provided and cerium iodide (CeI3) and sodium iodide (NaI) are enclosed as a light-emitting substance, wherein a molar composition rate NaI/CeI3 of the light-emitting substance is specified within a range of 3.8 to 10, inclusive, and a wall load on the arc tube ranges from 13 to 23 W/cm2, inclusive, and on a series of X, Y coordinates, where X denotes a value of a lamp watt (W) and Y denotes a value of Le/phii, where Le and phii denote a distance between the pair of electrodes and an internal diameter of the arc tube, respectively, values of the Le/phii and the lamp watt are specified to be within a range surrounded by lines passing through the points (200, 0.75), (300,0.80), (400, 0.85), (700, 1.00), (1,000, 1.15), (1,000, 2.10), (700, 2.00), (400, 1.90), (300, 1.80), and (200, 1.70) in this stated order.
