Three UAE Emirates Secure Top 5 Spots as World's Safest Cities

Safe cities prioritize the security and overall well-being of their residents, creating an environment where people can live, work, and engage in recreational activities without experiencing fear or danger. These cities employ a range of strategies to guarantee public safety.

It was expected when Numbeo announced that three Emirates in the UAE claimed the top 5 positions in the list of "Safest Cities in the World."

Safe cities prioritize social cohesion by promoting active community involvement and fostering trust among their residents. They also prioritize infrastructure that enhances safety, including well-illuminated streets, reliable public transportation systems, and easily accessible public spaces.

Through the integration of technological advancements and proactive urban planning, these cities establish an environment that gives a sense of security.

Numbeo’s Safety Index calculates and ranks countries and cities by considering various subindexes to determine the overall Quality of Life. These subindexes include the purchasing power index, pollution index, house prices in comparison to income, cost of living, safety, healthcare, traffic commute, and climate.
