UAE Ranked Among World's Safest Countries in 2025 — A Secure Hub for Life and Business

In a remarkable reaffirmation of its global standing, the United Arab Emirates has been ranked the second safest country in the world in Numbeo’s 2025 Safety Index. This milestone reflects the UAE’s continuous efforts in building a nation that prioritizes security, stability, and high quality of life for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.

With an impressive score of 84.5, the UAE trails only behind Andorra, and outperforms global powerhouses including Qatar (3rd), Taiwan (4th), and Oman (5th). The UAE also holds the second-lowest crime rate globally, according to Numbeo’s 2025 Crime Index, underscoring its reputation for effective law enforcement, cutting-edge surveillance systems, and community safety.

The factors contributing to this high level of safety include strict laws, efficient policing, AI-powered security systems, and community-focused governance. cities are widely recognized for their clean, well-monitored environments, where people — especially women and families — feel safe walking even late at night.

Women and children can move around safely, even at night, due to well-lit streets, frequent police patrols and strict anti-harassment laws. Tourists also frequently report feeling secure in the UAE compared to many other global destinations.

The government invests in social welfare and job opportunities, preventing socio-economic issues that could lead to unrest.

But beyond safety, this ranking also strengthens the UAE’s position as a top destination for global investors and entrepreneurs. In today’s uncertain world, security is more than just a comfort — it’s a competitive edge. For those looking to establish or expand a business, the UAE offers not just a tax-efficient environment and world-class infrastructure, but also the assurance of a stable, secure, and transparent ecosystem in which businesses can thrive.

The UAE’s ranking is a reminder that in a fast-paced, unpredictable world, the country stands tall as a beacon of safety and smart investment.
