It was fun, but you have to book popular attractions beforehand. Like on 30th December it was impossible to buy tickets to the Museum of the Future until 12th January. Overall I felt safe, but I lived at the friend‘s house in the good residential area (as a one my taxi drivers said). And I even went to take my friend‘s dog for a walk at night alone. The people were very friendly and warm. The public transport mostly useful in the main locations. So I had to use taxis a lot. But on the bright...

Just got back from Dubai and honestly, I felt super safe and welcome the whole time—even wandering around random side streets or alleys on my own. Of course I checked out the common must-see spots (Burj Khalifa, desert tour, etc.), but what I loved most was chatting with locals and diving into the cultural side of the city! That exchange made the trip way more meaningful than just ticking attractions off a list, you know 🙂↔️ Getting around was easy with metro + taxis, and you can make it...

My trip to Dubai was mostly for the purpose of visiting an exhibition, and it was completely safe while I was at the exhibition. And I had a bunch of friends there, so I didn't feel insecure or experienced anything, but now there were small parts where I was alone, There were people who bothered me or were embarrassed to talk to each other, even on the street, but it wasn't too annoying. My experience was like this once or twice, or in clubs, especially, the situation was like they were coming...

I at first was worried about traveling in morocco alone, but it was the best solo trip. People were honestly so respectful, I walked around alone at night in multiple cities, yes people looked at me but nothing was ever made to make me afraid or worried, maybe its because I dressed modestly and I just didnt look like a tourist but I would definitely go back to morocco

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...

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...

Abudhabi is a pretty safe city. The Government here is really good! I personally have not experienced anything. But you can roam out late night and nothing would happen to you until you give a chance to someone. But it’s better not to go into too dark and less crowd places in the middle of night. It’s like better safe than sorry. Here women are loved. So if you’re uncomfortable then… the CID or the police is always there to support you. And guess what you would never loose anything in public....

Dubai is very safe, it’s how the place is advertised to the world and it stands true and they pride themselves on this accomplishment. As someone who was born and raised here, I can attest to that despite recent activities in the area. (ahem ahem)

One of the safest cities in the world, it has surveillance cameras everywhere and the police and emergency contacts are quickly responsive and cooperative. I personally keep my car unlocked and don’t feel any kind of danger :)

Pretty safe. Follow the commonsensical global safety rules and you will be good :) it’s a lovely city to explore and most public transport is very dependable and super safe. Though as anywhere, do be vary of strangers and offers which sound too good to be true :)

Dubai has always felt very calm and safe to me. Recently the regional situation changed and the atmosphere shifted a little, but overall the city still remains one of the most peaceful and secure places to live.
