Abu dhabi has been on the list of safest places for women time and time again. I do a lot of moving around in taxis and I always feel safe. The only time I don't feel safe is if ons of the taxi drivers want to marry me.

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

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).

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.

Other than the random, very few, guys trying to take advantage of ladies enjoying a night out, Abu Dhabi is incredibly safe. It’s the safest city I’ve ever lived in for sure and I never feel worried when walking around no matter the time of day.

Abu Dhabi is very safe for women. However there are a few rules to abide by like dress modestly (cover shoulders to knees), don't be alone with strange men, expect some stares. Night time is almost as safe as day time, there are supermarkets open 24/7.
