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.

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business.
