Dubai is one of the safest cities I’ve ever experienced. I’ve felt comfortable walking alone at night, even as a young woman. The city is very well-organized, with strict laws and strong public safety. People are generally respectful, and there’s a strong sense of order and security here.

I’ve been living here for the past year. I would say that UAE are safe to travel, especially women. No one would robbed or mugged you; unlikely men do sexual harassment; if yes call the police they will handled them asap. Sometimes I would go out at night and no mens would cat calling or do silly things.
Posted: July 21, 2025Dubai is pretty safe place for living and travelling, of course you never can be 100% sure. But I walked alone by myself alone at night and it was no problem. Some guys will approach, but if you say a hard no they will leave you alone.

Many of you know it’s a very safe city. But still, there are certain macho and regressive cultural things going on here and many large groups of men. There are also still scams and shady things that go on, an underbelly to the emirate that can go very dark, so you still do have to be careful. But at least catcalling is a minimum and women have our own car on the metro.
Posted: July 6, 2025Very safe city. One of the most safest cities in the world. Only thing is some men might flirt or ask for Instagram/tiktok. That might bother the ladies. Overall, very safe and secure city. Never worried
Posted: June 23, 2025Not that safe honestly. I went to the beach and got harassed in the water. Just be careful this world isn’t for women. I am strong and I can protect myself I carry certain things with me. Just be on guard all the time especially when you’re alone

My trip to Dubai was mostly for the purpose of visiting an exhibition, and it was completely safe while I was at the exhibition. And I had a bunch of friends there, so I didn't feel insecure or experienced anything, but now there were small parts where I was alone, There were people who bothered me or were embarrassed to talk to each other, even on the street, but it wasn't too annoying. My experience was like this once or twice, or in clubs, especially, the situation was like they were coming towards you and they didn't have that prestige. But there were also locations that were all very good. For example, I would go to a nice beach and try to connect with you there But if you didn't show any interest, I wouldn't insist and you could enjoy your time. I spent nearly 1,500 euros there, and my trip was basically a little bit lux
Posted: July 26, 2025The best time to go there is around May activities are cheaper since it’s the beginning of summer December its a little bit expensive I gelt safe all the time. There are alot of activities from brunches,museums,desert safari,burj khalifa
