UAE shines in global safety rankings with Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Sharjah among top 10
This achievement is a testament to the emirate's ongoing commitment to implementing advanced security plans, strategies, and initiatives.
In the same Numbeo ranking, Ajman was ranked second globally. Meanwhile, Dubai, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah were among the top 10 safest cities in the world.
Abu Dhabi tops the list as the safest city to walk alone at night, scoring 87 out of 100, according to a recent global study by UK-based long-haul travel specialist Travelbag.
With its modern infrastructure, well-lit streets, and low crime rates, it provides a secure environment for both residents and visitors. The city's strong public safety measures make it ideal for confident nighttime exploration, especially around landmarks like the beautifully illuminated Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Taipei, Taiwan, ranks second with a safety score of 85 for walking alone at night. Known for its clean streets, good lighting, and low crime, the city's lively night markets and urban areas are safe for locals and tourists alike. Visitors especially enjoy Taipei 101 after dark, when the iconic tower is beautifully lit and offers stunning nighttime views.
New York leads as the most scenic city at night, boasting 40,800 Instagram hashtags, a safety score of 46, and 2,302 late-night venues, making it a favourite destination for night owls.
Muscat ranks number one for stargazing, with a light pollution score of 30 and a pollution index of 10.0, offering pristine desert skies and minimal artificial light.
Singapore ranks as the most scenic city in Southeast Asia, with 16,500 Instagram hashtags highlighting its vibrant and dynamic nightlife.
The survey results revealed that 93.6 per cent of residents felt safe walking alone at night, reflecting the emirate's continued recognition as the world's safest city in 2025, according to global indicators. The Happiness Indicator also recorded an increase, reaching 7.74 out of 10, compared to 7.63 in the third cycle.

The GEM will house 100,000 artifacts, including the full King Tutankhamun collection displayed together for the first time since 1922, and greet visitors with a 3,200-year-old statue of Ramses II. Facilities include a library, education center, children's museum, and cultural spaces with advanced preservation technology.

Flydubai to add 12 aircraft in 2025 but still 20 short of goal
Flydubai will receive 12 new aircraft this year, though it remains 20 planes behind its original delivery projections, the airline's chief executive said Thursday. The Dubai-based carrier has taken delivery of seven Boeing 737 MAX 8s in 2025, with five more expected before year-end, bringing its fleet to 93 aircraft. In a report on Khaleej Times, CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said the deliveries are part of a backlog that has been delayed in recent years, impacting the airline's expansion plans. Airlines in the UAE and globally have faced delays in aircraft deliveries, with Flydubai noting last year that Boeing's updated schedule had significantly affected its growth strategy. Despite the challenges, Flydubai has added 11 new destinations this year, including Antalya, Al Alamein, Damascus and Peshawar. Four more European destinations — Chisinau, Iasi, Vilnius and Riga — are scheduled to launch between September and December, expanding the carrier's network to more than 135 destinations in 57 countries. Financing for the first seven aircraft delivered this year has come from a mix of Islamic financing through Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, conventional debt from the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, and sale-leaseback agreements with JP Lease Products & Services and JLPS Ireland Limited. Al Ghaith said the additional aircraft will help the airline open new routes, optimize operations and strengthen Dubai's role as an international aviation hub.
