How safe is Dubai for women?

Glad to call Dubai my home. Its the safest city for women, even in the evening. You can leave valuables in a place for hours without it being stolen. The police are highly reliable and not corrupt. The government leverages the technology on fighting crimes. Public transport is very safe, and highly motored by the police. The only thing any women should worry about are creepy stares.

Dubai is so safe that even if i want to go out at 2 am and be in the streets i know im safe and the police is so fast in responding if ever needed. This city is where i was born and raised and i can never recommend a better safe place. Feel free to ask me anything!

Any space in Dubai has CCTV, laws in Dubai severely reprimand insults, misbehaviours and crimes. I've been living in Dubai for 1.5 years and I've socialized days and nights with women. I've never experienced any insecurity issue. My friends also never referred any.

Dubai is very safe and comfortable city, we can walk at night, get taxis at reasonable prices , there are even special night beaches open to public, where there is always lifeguards and security. You can always feel safe in Dubai.

Extremely safe for women. Crime rate is low and as far as you are restful of the culture it’s good. Avoid Public displays of affection, and drugs. You can enjoy the nightlife and be outside all night.. no issues at all

Dubai counts to the safest places on earth. You can leave your stuff on the table without watching it and move around without worrying. The city (and whole country) has all nationalities of the planet living together without any trouble.

The Government is really strict in terms of rules so everyone is obliged to follow. As a woman, I have always felt safe in the city even during late nights. People are from all over the world and you can experience cultures and cuisines.

You should be more worried about getting your husband or wife stolen than being robbed or mugged 😂

Ever since I moved Dubai, I feel it's a very safe place with strict laws which everyone abides by. People of different nationalities lives together freely. You are free to wear any outfit you desire except the religious places where certain dress code is important. The city is quite lively even in night.

Depends of areas, strictly not recommended Deira, Burjuman, JVT and any other cheap rent locations, also need keeping attention to your own things and have in mind there a lot of tourists who normally can go back to their countries with your bag, wallet or etc, but in general Dubai is most safety place ever

Is Dubai safe to travel?

It wasn't good for me; it was too hot and not safe. But the food was good. The hotel was scary, and I couldn't go out because of the hot weather. I went to the cinema and watched "The Dancing River." I did a lot of shopping. I went there with my friend.

In 2023 was my first solo trip to Dubai, I didn’t really fully enjoy. I figured it’s probably because I didn’t make friends. I felt so lonely. So I thought I should give it a try again this year. And I’m hoping to make friends
