One user wrote, "Totally agree. My daughter was 22 when she went. She used return around 11 pm after evening college. I worried a lot. One word she said. Mom this is Dubai. Today even she's driving alone to early morning shift at 4 am I am not worried."
Another commented, "Sister, come to Mumbai where it's active & crowded even at 3 am!!! You will never feel alone or unsafe in Mumbai. The city is awake in the night too."
A third said, "Even in many Western cities I wouldn't dare to walk alone at that hour. Dubai truly sets an example.'
A fourth added, "It is not just about safety but also about dignity. Here, women are respected regardless of the time."
Millions of tourists, including solo travellers, often report feeling secure in Dubai due to visible policing and cultural emphasis on hospitality. Violent crimes are rare, and public spaces like malls and restaurants are well-lit and monitored, allowing women to feel at ease whether shopping in malls or strolling along the waterfront.
