Abu Dhabi ranked world’s safest city
UAE capital surpasses more than 300 cities, including Tokyo, Basel, Munich and Vienna
Abu Dhabi has been named the safest city in the world for the second year running by Numbeo, a website that collates data to develop the world’s largest user-contributed database about cities and countries worldwide.
Surpassing more than 300 cities, including Tokyo, Basel, Munich and Vienna, the UAE capital has once again topped the list as the most secure city in the world. The emirate’s safety index increased from 86.46 points in the first half of last year to 88.26 points during the first six months of this year.
The index ranked 338 cities globally and is an estimation of overall safety levels in any given city or a country. Established in 2009, Numbeo is a collaborative online database which enables users to share and compare information about the cost of living between countries and cities.
“Safety is paramount when choosing a city to visit or live in, and we are proud to top that list for the second year running,” Saif Saeed Ghobash, undersecretary at the Department of Culture and Tourism-Abu Dhabi, said.
