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

I visited Abu Dhabi last March with my friend 🇦🇪 We stayed in “Traders Hotel” - it’s a 4 stars hotel on first coastline. We visited Yas Island for few times. I really recommend to visit there karting, Ferrari Park and Yas Waterworld. We had a lot of fun there! Also I can recommend Yas Marina Circut - they have only women days for entrance, so it feels more comfortable and safety even at night time. It was very hot there, so I can recommend you keep the walks for the evenings and use a good sunscreen! Don’t use very open clothes, not only for respecting the culture, but also for the protection of sun. Our breakfasts were included in our hotel reservation, so I can’t really recommend any good places. But fast food prices in the mall were definitely higher than in Moscow. We used taxi and public transport for moving in the city. Be ready - you can’t pay for public transport by card or cash, you have to buy a special transport card Hafilat, you can find it in the airport. I was enjoined my time in Abu Dhabi - sunny, clean and safe city. I’d love to come back there!

I was feeling safe during all the trip. You really need to visit Yas Marina Island: waterworld, karting, Yas formula one circuit, Ferrari world. By the way, only women can walk on the track for free. And there are discounts for women at the karting. The local food is not very tasty but there are lots of restaurants where you can eat. About money — I’ve spent about 1200 dollars I was staying at a very nice hotel called Traders Hotel, 4 stars I was traveling with my best female friend and we were talking a taxi or a bus
Posted: May 8, 2025It was safe, it was nice, the shopping experience is amazing, there are a lot of things to do there. The magic garden, the global village, the Chinese food and burger in Dubai JBR, the metro rides that makes everything closer.
Posted: May 4, 2025Yes i feel very safe there, people in Dubai are very open-Minded, friendly and nice. I could ask about everything and everyone was so kind for me (as a foreigner in solo trip). Dubai by night was so beautiful and magical.

Super safe! I’m pretty sure it’s all over social media too how one leaves their car running with the engine on and nobody would dare try stealing it or even leaving your bag unattended is not really something to stress about

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.
