How safe is Dhaka?
It all depends in which areas you are in. I feel quite safe where i stay Gulshan, baridhara and som parts of Banani is areas with lots of guards, Police men etc. It is absolut here most expats live...
Posted: February 1, 2025Most places I go to tend to be safe but I still wouldn't consider every part of it safe for ladies. I think it's best to know someone local who could cross check the locations or places(clubs) in general that you plan on visiting for the safety tips and emergency law enforcement support informations.

I traveled to Bangladesh to speak at a conference. There was some political demonstrations going on.while I was there because it was close to a big election and I was asked to stay in the hotel, however I did travel a bit and felt safe.
