How safe is Dubai?

Very 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

Not 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

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.

Dubai 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.

Is Dubai worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.1 /5

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
