Well I'm hearing more and more that dubai is a safe haven for drug barons. So however safe it is now unfortunately for most dubai residents it will not remain safe for very long as long as the country has laxed laws when it comes to protecting drug barans and there assets. Awful pity greed has got the better of politics here as its everybody's children will suffer in the city.but the longterm residents of dubai have no idea what's coming down the road unless serious changes are made

please don't annoy us, you are free to go to a country who accepts you

Yeah, Dubai might have a very low crime rate but this country discriminates so much based on your sexual orientation and gender identity. So if you are part of the LGBT community, this is not a safe country for you because you might end up to jail. Any western european country is much better when it comes to safety of LGBT people.

I don't think I'll ever visit UAE nor any arabic country because I can't stand with homophobes/transphobes and most arabic countries are like that. It's so sickening that they are stuck in the past.

I have travelled countless times to Dubai since 1995 and this is my favourite place in the world. I live in South Africa where Crime is the order of the day. As long as you abide by their code of conduct and their rule of law, you will never get enough of this beautifuldeveloping city. In all my travels, I have never encountered any issues with the locals or expats. Add this city to your bucket list and you will have no regrets...

Visited Dubai with my family over Christmas and NYs holidays. It was really wonderful and I'd love to go back. The laws are very strict and people obey them (for the most part).
We were only "scammed" once by a lazy taxi driver who didn't want to admit that he misunderstood where we wanted to go. However, the amount was so minimal we didn't report it. However, please note that you can ALWAYS report taxi drivers who try to scam you by reporting the taxi number/driver name to any police man. Those taxis are required to head back to HQ that same day and their licenses are voided.

But the above is an exception. To illustrate, we took a 2 hr taxi from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and regretfully left our mobile in the taxi. We worked with our hotel staff and security to locate the driver and got the phone back the next day fully intact. The driver was really worried about being reported to the police and we actually had to assure him that we knew it was our mistake and not anything intentional on his part.

Also, being an Islamic country, people are critical about the strict laws, but I didn't feel that non-Muslim residents or foreigners were subject to any "harsh" rules. for example, A lot of private hotel beaches are lax with swimwear. and most hotel bars and restaurants serve alcohol. I think one just needs to check what is permitted and what's not to be safe.

The only area I would caution travelers to be a little more wary about being "scammed" or "attacked" is in Deria. I didn't feel particularly unsafe at any time of day, however, I wouldn't be there alone at night and I wouldn't buy from the local market without first comparing prices and trying to bargain.

Political climate aside, I feel it's a really nice holiday destination!

Yeah sure Dubai a safe until they take you out of the city to murder you
