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 work on pretty much any budget depending on where you stay and eat. I think it‘s best to stay near the attractions you want to visit and then take the metro accordingly. Tickets aren‘t expensive; just get a NOL card.
Posted: September 2, 2025My 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 towards you and they didn't have that prestige. But there were also locations that were all very good. For example, I would go to a nice beach and try to connect with you there But if you didn't show any interest, I wouldn't insist and you could enjoy your time. I spent nearly 1,500 euros there, and my trip was basically a little bit lux

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 traveled Dubai in the summer and did many activities during the evening or night. Felt very safe the entire time. The people are very friendly and respectful. Public transport, taxis, and walking around were all comfortable, even in some random side streets and alleys. Just keep in mind to dress modestly and respect local customs as well.
