Safety for a woman in Dubai... by Pedrodelgado
I think you should stay in your place. What is wrong with westerners having these stupid questions about the safety in Dubai and United Arab Emirates ???I am from western Europe and i have been living for three years in Dubai, after also spending years in North America, a country where teenagers shoot each others at school and when millions of people and their industries still do not want to admit some of their responsibility in the global warming...
Dubai is actually one of the safest place in the world, criminality being near 0% and if you do a crime, then you pay for it..
In Dubai, you can leave you car with the key on to avoid turning off the air conditioning, while you go buy something in your favorite local grocery stores, no one will steal it.
The airport is one of the most advanced in the world, with a huge duty free, security everywhere, cameras and a staff of helpful people to help you find your way or simply to make you feel as comfortable as possible while you are waiting for your connection.
So please, stop talking about Middle East and the Emirates as it would be a risky third world country place, as there is way more chance for you to get stabbed by anyone early in the morning, when you open the front door of your villa to pick up your daily newspaper or bottle of milk.
