The United Arab Emirates has once again confirmed its position as one of the safest countries in the world. Five UAE cities have been ranked among the world’s safest destinations according to the Numbeo Mid-Year 2026 Safety Index.

Ajman secured first place in the ranking, followed by Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, and Sharjah. Dubai also entered the global top ten, ranking sixth. These outstanding positions reflect low crime rates, effective law enforcement, and a high level of public safety.

Safety remains one of the key factors influencing the country’s appeal to tourists, expatriates, and investors. It plays a major role in choosing where to live, purchase property, or establish a business. A high level of public security contributes to the stable development of the real estate market and continues to attract international property buyers to the UAE.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi remain the most popular destinations for investors, combining exceptional safety with world-class infrastructure, a strong economy, and steady rental demand. Northern emirates, including Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah, are also experiencing rapid growth, offering more affordable real estate while maintaining an excellent quality of life.

The latest international ranking once again confirms that the UAE continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the world’s most comfortable and secure places to live, travel, and invest. For property buyers, this represents an additional advantage when choosing real estate for personal use or long-term rental income.
