Dubai is pretty safe place for living and travelling, of course you never can be 100% sure. But I walked alone by myself alone at night and it was no problem. Some guys will approach, but if you say a hard no they will leave you alone.

Many of you know it’s a very safe city. But still, there are certain macho and regressive cultural things going on here and many large groups of men. There are also still scams and shady things that go on, an underbelly to the emirate that can go very dark, so you still do have to be careful. But at least catcalling is a minimum and women have our own car on the metro.
Posted: July 6, 2025Very 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
Posted: June 23, 2025Not 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.

The best time to go there is around May activities are cheaper since it’s the beginning of summer December its a little bit expensive I gelt safe all the time. There are alot of activities from brunches,museums,desert safari,burj khalifa

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
