Dubai has claimed its position as the world’s safest city for solo female travellers in 2025. The city surged four places in the global rankings this year, outpacing other popular destinations like Krakow and Madrid. This achievement is rooted in Dubai’s exceptionally low crime rate, robust law enforcement, and thoughtful infrastructure designed with women’s safety in mind.

Dubai scored 83.11 out of 100 for feeling safe walking alone at night and 86.23 out of 100 for feeling safe regardless of gender-both the highest among all cities surveyed. These metrics reflect not only the city’s strong legal framework but also its community’s shared commitment to public safety.

An impressive 95% of Dubai residents report feeling safe walking alone at night, highlighting a citywide sense of security that extends to visitors as well. This pervasive feeling of safety is a major reassurance for solo female travellers.
