UAE Secures No.1 Spot in Global Safety Rankings

The United Arab Emirates has been officially recognised as the safest country in the world in 2025, according to Numbeo’s mid-year Safety Index and Global Safety Rankings. With a score of 85.2, the UAE outperformed 147 other nations, including Andorra, Qatar, Taiwan and Macao, reaffirming its reputation as a global leader in security, stability and quality of life.

Safety Across the Emirates

The country’s achievement is mirrored at city level, where five emirates feature among the safest worldwide:

• Abu Dhabi – Safety Index 88.8, Crime Index 11.2
• Ajman – Safety Index 85.5, Crime Index 14.5
• Dubai – Safety Index 83.9
• Ras Al Khaimah – Safety Index 83.8
• Sharjah – Safety Index 83.7

This consistent performance across multiple emirates highlights the UAE’s coordinated national approach to security and governance.

What Makes the UAE Stand Out

The UAE’s position at the top of global rankings is the result of several factors:

• Advanced Security Systems – Heavy investment in AI-driven surveillance and smart policing ensures proactive crime prevention.
• Strong Law Enforcement – Rapid response times and clear enforcement of laws strengthen public trust.
• Visionary Governance – Robust legal frameworks and cohesive leadership across the emirates maintain order and stability.
• Social Cohesion – A multicultural society thrives under policies that promote tolerance, accountability, and inclusivity. 

These insights are echoed in global analyses highlighting technological innovation, governance, and comprehensive law enforcement strategies as driving forces behind the nation’s safety success. DXB News Network 

The Gulf as a Safe Region

The UAE’s success is part of a broader Gulf trend. Alongside Abu Dhabi, cities such as Doha, Muscat, and Manama also feature in the world’s top 10 safest cities. This achievement not only reflects effective governance and strong security frameworks but also demonstrates the region’s commitment to sustainable growth and quality of life. Together, these results highlight the Gulf’s growing reputation as a region that combines economic strength with safe, secure living environments. The Times of India

For families, it provides reassurance and peace of mind, ensuring children can grow up in secure communities with access to education, healthcare, and opportunities.
