Dubai is an extremely safe destination for visitors. Crime rates are very low and even women travelling alone will feel safe and secure in most areas, no matter what time of day it is. However, as in any city, it is sensible to take reasonable precautions regarding personal safety, such as keeping an eye on your belongings,
avoiding poorly lit or unsafe areas after dark, and remaining vigilant at all times. Dubai is also a very safe place to travel with children. Food hygiene standards are high and tap water is safe to drink (although many residents prefer to drink purified water). There are many facilities catering for children and even five-star restaurants tend to be welcoming to families.
