Abu Dhabi named world's safest city for 10th year

They say the easy part about a title is winning it. Keeping it, now that’s not easy. Unless you happen to be Abu Dhabi – which has been named for the 10^th year in a row the safest city in the world.

The top spot was given by Numbeo, which recently released its global safety rankings. The index surveyed 400 cities from 150 countries.

• It is ranked first in:

• Safety when walking alone at night

• Safety when walking alone in the day

Behind that feeling of safety is a serious commitment to smart, forward-thinking policing. Major General Ahmed Saif bin Zaitoon Al Muhairi, Commander-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Police, credits advanced technology, digital transformation and the use of AI and predictive analytics for keeping the city one step ahead. In short: Abu Dhabi doesn’t just feel safe — it’s designed to be.

And the best part? All that security means you can focus on enjoying everything the city has to offer. Start with a visit to the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, especially at sunset, before heading to the Louvre Abu Dhabi for world-class art and architecture. Fancy something faster paced? Yas Island is home to Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and some of the region’s biggest events. Prefer a slower vibe? Take a stroll along the Corniche, relax on Saadiyat’s pristine beaches or explore the desert on a dune-bashing adventure just outside the city.

Safe, stylish and endlessly impressive, Abu Dhabi proves that peace of mind and unforgettable experiences can go hand in hand.
