Scoring an impressive 85.2 points, the UAE leads the global ranking ahead of Andorra, Qatar, Taiwan, and Macao, who complete the top five.

This achievement reflects the UAE’s ongoing commitment to providing a secure and high-quality living environment for its more than 200 nationalities. Earlier this year, in March 2025, the UAE had ranked second on the same index, with Andorra taking the lead at the time, but the mid-year review saw the UAE reclaim the top position.

Abu Dhabi and Dubai Among the World’s Safest Cities

The UAE’s success on a national level mirrors its achievements on the city level. According to Numbeo’s Crime and Safety Indexes, Abu Dhabi is considered the safest city in the world, scoring 88.2 points on the Safety Index and recording the lowest Crime Index at just 11.8 points. Meanwhile, Dubai also performed strongly, ranking fifth among the safest cities globally.

In addition, last year’s Global Liveability Index 2024 by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) highlighted Abu Dhabi and Dubai as the most liveable cities in the Middle East and Africa, with improvements in healthcare and education further enhancing their appeal.

The UAE continues to set the standard for safety and quality of life, making it a top choice for residents, visitors, and investors alike.
