Safety

According to officials, the UAE is the safest country on the planet, with 96.1 percent of inhabitants feeling safe enough to walk outside at night. Lieutenant General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, deputy chairman of Police and Public Security, made the announcement at the 12th International Symposium for Police Best Practice in Dubai.

Thus, Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world, with a fantastic nightlife. The metro is well-connected, and there are plenty of taxis available throughout the night. Crime is not anything to be concerned about while visiting this country. Having said that, being aware of your surroundings and using common sense is always beneficial no matter where you are in the world.

But even while pickpocketing is unlikely because the UAE's citizens are mostly foreigners, it does happen because the country receives up to 14 million tourists each year. It's best to be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially when near Jemeirah Beach, which is a recognized pickpocket hotspot.
