It's a joke. An evil country that relies on telecommunications network fraud, kidnapping and human trafficking is actually safe...

Recently in Dubai March of 2023; enjoyed myself immensely. Found all people I encountered were very friendly and polite.
Interesting Place to visit at least once.

I am from Kerala in India and my passport is confiscated by the Dubai authorities. I had completed PhD in Astrophysics in India but now I'm working in Dubai as a road-tar labourer and sewage worker. I can't return back home to Kerala. I sleep every night on the roadside in Bur Dubai.

To the years old LBGTQRSTUV comment... Why do you assume people have an irrational fear of homosexuals or transsexuals? There's nothing scary about them, just repulsive.

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

In fact UAE is most safest country I have been to, no robbery, no snatching of bags, you can walk peaceful at anytime day or nite. The only problem is bedspace in such an advanced country for men and women to be living like students. And the cost of living is too high as compared to other advanced countries.
