Explore reasons behind Abu Dhabi landing top spot on list of world’s safest cities

 

Abu Dhabi has been named the safest city in the world for the eighth consecutive year, with an overall score of 86.8, securing the top spot in the latest global safety ranking of more than 300 cities by Numbeo. The ranking is based on survey responses of website visitors, who were asked about perceptions of safety and crime levels in their city.

Abu Dhabi scored 90.07 and 83.88 in terms of safety walking alone during daylight and during night, considering 528 responses. The capital city also scored 8.81 (very low) in terms of crime, 20.90 (low) for problem corruption and bribery, and 12.45 (very low) for worries being subject to a physical attack because of skin color, ethnic origin, gender, or religion.

Abu Dhabi has held Numbeo’s title of the world’s safest city since 2017, reflecting the emirate’s global leadership in implementing best security standards and enhancing the quality of life for citizens, residents, and visitors. The online database’s rankings also reflect the UAE city’s ongoing efforts to ensure a good quality of life for citizens and residents. Major General Maktoum Ali Al Sharifi, director general at Abu Dhabi Police, emphasized the importance of investing in numerous success factors, training leaders who can foresee the future, and using advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and big data to empower human capital and talent as highly competent professionals.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates.

This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure.

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
