Dubai has been ranked third in the list of the world’s safest destinations for solo travel.
According to a study by InsureMyTrip, a UK-based travel insurance company, Dubai has a very low crime rate and is considered a safe place to travel for a woman, with the majority of public transport in Dubai offering a “women’s only section”.
The emirate was listed high in the women’s safety index with a score of 9.43 out of 10. It also scored 8.64 for the absence of attacks based on gender.
Suzanne Morrow, senior vice president at InsureMyTrip, said everyone deserves to feel safe while traveling and “we strive to take the worry out of travel because it should be fun. We hope this study empowers more women to travel, with or without a companion.”
Earlier Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai were rated among the top 10 safest cities globally in a report released by data services provider Numbeo.
