It's the safest place you'll ever see, or at least the place you'll feel safest, like a different utopia. Those who live here understand what I mean better, but if you have a travel plan, don't hesitate.
Posted: September 10, 2025The UAE is the safest place ever. You can go outside alone, and you can bring your phone and bag without anyone touching your belongings. The penalties here are severe, with three months in prison and deportation for crimes.

Downtown dubai, even dubai generally is one of the safest city compared to the other cities I stayed or lived. I can go out at 1am and take a walk alone, enjoy the quiet and there is no fear of being mugged or robbed or harrassed.
