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

I at first was worried about traveling in morocco alone, but it was the best solo trip. People were honestly so respectful, I walked around alone at night in multiple cities, yes people looked at me but nothing was ever made to make me afraid or worried, maybe its because I dressed modestly and I just didnt look like a tourist but I would definitely go back to morocco
