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.

Dubai was overall safe in my experience, if you are careful. However, I was being approached in uncomfortable ways by guys, and touched inappropriately in a crowded space after the new year celebration:(

Dubai is totally safe and a lot of helpful people around. Public transportation can get cramped but is still very safe. You can always ask a stranger for directions and will definitely help you out. Expats are every where and for sure you’ll get someone who can soeak your language.
Posted: January 31, 2025Dubai is generally safe place. I am an expat and been here for 17 years. I have never encountered any crime or anything like that. However like any city its always wise to take precautions. Avoid isolated areas late at night, stay aware of surroundings and follow local customs and law.

Dubai is so wonderful city I love Dubai you can safe travel and see many interesting places here. Also if you like go to shopping and desert you will love that city. You can go to the beach. There have only women and children day in the beach.
Posted: January 30, 2025Very safe! It is one of the only places in the world where you can walk alone at night without overthinking. I'd, however, recommend being a bit careful staying in the non-main areas of Dubai like Nahda, Deira, etc, where catcalling could be a little bit of an issue.
Posted: January 16, 2025Dubai is very safe, and walking around at 3 am poses no problem even if you’re alone. In certain areas you can even leave your valuable belongings unattended and you’d come back to find them untouched. There are specific areas (industrial areas generally) that can make you feel a bit comfortable walking around them at night, mainly due to the sheer number of men walking around, but none would actually dare to cross your path, it’s just the general discomfort we normally experience around a large number of men in one place. I’d say Dubai and UAE in general is by far the safest place I’ve been to.

Dubai is the safest country in the world for women without a doubt. I lived there for 15 years and never experienced a issue of safety outside. I never felt unsafe or in danger ever. There are cameras everywhere and police cars. At any sign of violence people are thrown in jail so no one plays around.
Posted: December 27, 2024Being alone women here is safe here . You can wear what you want you can do what you want. If you have job and accommodation, you re so lucky and you should stay at Dubai. Because the rules are so strict

My first international trip was to Dubai (united Arabic Emirates) . This country especially Dubai is a safe city where the girl can go out at midnight with no fear. The food there is good. About transportation: don't take Taxi everytime because it's more expensive. Use metro or the bus . If anyone going there don't miss sheikh zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi
Posted: February 16, 2025Experienced: November, 2024Dubai is hands down the safest city I've ever visited! (For us Ladies at least) If you're looking for a place to unwind, have a good time, and indulge in some luxury, Dubai is definitely the spot.I had the pleasure of visiting Dubai for the first time in June 2024, and I been there 3 times since then because I just can't get enough of this incredible city. I can't recommend it enough!
