How safe is United Arab Emirates for women?
Dubai
Glad to call Dubai my home. Its the safest city for women, even in the evening. You can leave valuables in a place for hours without it being stolen. The police are highly reliable and not corrupt. The government leverages the technology on fighting crimes. Public transport is very safe, and highly motored by the police. The only thing any women should worry about are creepy stares.

Abu Dhabi is generally safe but if being stared at by certain group of men can make you feel comfortable. This is especially true in industrial areas. Although I think that’s the most that they can do to you and it’s less likely you’ll get attacked or any other suchlike instances

Any space in Dubai has CCTV, laws in Dubai severely reprimand insults, misbehaviours and crimes. I've been living in Dubai for 1.5 years and I've socialized days and nights with women. I've never experienced any insecurity issue. My friends also never referred any.

Abu Dhabi is a very safe city, where women can have a good time without worries. It is however a conservative muslim country and people tend to dress a bit more modestly, especially inside malls (eg: no bikini or booty shorts).

Extremely safe for women. Crime rate is low and as far as you are restful of the culture it’s good. Avoid Public displays of affection, and drugs. You can enjoy the nightlife and be outside all night.. no issues at all

Dubai counts to the safest places on earth. You can leave your stuff on the table without watching it and move around without worrying. The city (and whole country) has all nationalities of the planet living together without any trouble.

Abu Dhabi is one of the safest city in the world. It’s a city where you could forget your wallet or phone in the mall food court, and you’re almost certain to find it where you left it or have it returned to you by someone intact. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and theft are uncommon. It’s generally safe for everyone to walk around late at night. Even public transportations has cameras so you’re safe even late nights.

The Government is really strict in terms of rules so everyone is obliged to follow. As a woman, I have always felt safe in the city even during late nights. People are from all over the world and you can experience cultures and cuisines.

It wasn't good for me; it was too hot and not safe. But the food was good. The hotel was scary, and I couldn't go out because of the hot weather. I went to the cinema and watched "The Dancing River." I did a lot of shopping. I went there with my friend.

In 2023 was my first solo trip to Dubai, I didn’t really fully enjoy. I figured it’s probably because I didn’t make friends. I felt so lonely. So I thought I should give it a try again this year. And I’m hoping to make friends
