Safety in Dubai

Dubai's Safety and Security

Firstly, I extend my gratitude to all visitors of DubaiRoom.

Allow me to share insights from my 8-year experience in Dubai. Safety stands as one of the most prominent and compelling aspects of this city.

Dubai remains one of the safest places I've experienced, fostering a sense of security where encountering good-hearted individuals is commonplace. It's a place where I confidently traverse alone, anytime, anywhere, without apprehension of interference.

Women, too, freely walk the streets without encountering issues. While Dubai, like any city, isn't devoid of exceptions, such occurrences are rare.

In Dubai, I've shed the habit of worrying about personal belongings. Misplacing items like phones or wallets often results in their swift return, even if lost in restaurants, shops, or malls.

Personal anecdotes reinforce this sense of security. I once lost a wallet on the beach, containing significant cash and cards. Within an hour of realizing my loss, a kind stranger approached, inquired about the wallet's appearance, and returned it, declining any reward.

Instances of lost mobile phones being found and returned are frequent. Media often reports substantial amounts of money being returned to rightful owners by honest finders.

While Dubai continues to witness an influx of diverse workers and residents seeking opportunities, I hope this growth doesn't compromise the city's safety standards.

The Dubai Police have instituted the Al Ameen confidential helpline (800-4-888) available 24/7 for residents. Additionally, their website Dubai Police offers essential information on safety and security measures.

Dubai's police force, while diligently executing their duties, exudes an attitude distinct from what I've encountered elsewhere, characterized by helpfulness and friendliness.

In case of emergencies or queries, Dubai Police can be reached at 999.

While Dubai ensures safety, it's always wise to remain vigilant. Dubai continues to strive for maintaining its reputation as a safe haven amidst its rapid growth and diverse population.
