Abu Dhabi has once again earned the title of the world’s safest city, securing the top spot on Numbeo’s 2025 ranking for the ninth consecutive year. This impressive streak began in 2017, and the UAE capital continues to demonstrate why it stands out among 382 cities worldwide.
From advanced security measures to community-focused initiatives, Abu Dhabi has cultivated an environment where residents and visitors can thrive with confidence.
The Abu Dhabi Police are at the forefront of this success, playing a vital role in creating a secure atmosphere across the city. Whether you’re enjoying a walk along the Corniche, working late downtown, or soaking in the cultural offerings of Saadiyat Island, the sense of safety is palpable.
This dedication to security makes Abu Dhabi a top choice for people seeking a well-rounded lifestyle. It’s no surprise that the city is highly regarded as a destination for studying, working, and living.
Other UAE cities are also making their mark. Dubai and Sharjah have achieved strong safety ratings. Outside the UAE, Taipei (Taiwan) and Doha (Qatar) made it to the top five, recognized for their unique blend of modernity and tradition.
Abu Dhabi’s position as a global safety leader showcases its success in creating a secure, welcoming environment – a city where peace of mind comes standard.
