Dubai is a city where women can travel at ease. You can go out anytime of the day and night and no one will touch. Staring is normal especially if you are wearing something vulgar however cameras are everywhere and people are abiding the law so there is no need to worry about safety.

Dubai is one of the safest places to be, as a woman I still recommend solo traveling ladies to stay cautious and avoid meeting people in private places, always meet strangers in public places like malls and restaurants or even tourist attractions.
Posted: March 30, 2025Dubai is the safest city in the world!!!! So many times I walk alone in dark alleys at 2am and felt very very safe. It’s really the best place to be a female solo traveler. I don’t have anything to write anymore.

It’s one of the safest city/country in the world. As a women you never need to worry about anything. People are nice and generous as well. However if you’re traveling here you should just research and avoid the overly crowded areas.

Dubai is a Very safe place . It is very easy and safe to walk around at night and police are always accessible in case of emergency. People are helpful and u can report crime quickly if something happens.

honestly it's hard to describe this experience. I really enjoyed my holiday but I didn't like Dubai itself. lots of entertainment and things to do but overall a terrible place in terms of how the city is built. the only really convenient way to get around is by car. the prices are high. everything there is made for one category of people, there is no niche. I was supposed to feel safe in Dubai but I didn't. there were no out of the ordinary situations but I felt anxious. the overall impression is: cool, definitely worth visiting once in a lifetime, but no desire to come there often
