Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been ranked among the safest cities in the world for people who travel alone, according to an international study carried out by Travelbag.
The study used safety data from the Numbeo Crime Index, focusing on how safe people feel during the day and at night. Abu Dhabi received very high safety scores, with 92 for daytime safety and 87 for nighttime safety. Dubai also performed strongly, earning a score of 91 during the day and 83 at night. These scores show that both cities are considered safe around the clock compared to many other major destinations worldwide.
Several factors helped Abu Dhabi and Dubai achieve top positions in the rankings. These include very low crime rates, well-lit streets and public spaces, strong law enforcement, and a general sense of order and security. Visitors also often describe both cities as friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall feeling of safety, especially for those travelling on their own.
In addition to safety, the study noted that affordability, modern transport systems, and ease of getting around make these cities even more attractive for solo travellers. Clear signage, reliable public transport, and a wide range of accommodation options allow visitors to explore comfortably without difficulty.
