ETS Security Overview - UAE

 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is generally considered a stable and secure country for both business travelers and tourists. It enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the world, and the government places a strong emphasis on maintaining security. However, as with any destination, certain risks exist, particularly related to regional geopolitical tensions, local laws, and cultural considerations. 

As the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Abu Dhabi is a stable, secure, and economically thriving city. Known for its modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant business environment, Abu Dhabi is a key destination for business travelers and tourists alike. While the city is considered one of the safest in the region, travelers should be aware of potential risks related to cultural norms, regional geopolitical tensions, and evolving cyber threats.

Abu Dhabi is considered a low-risk country for crime; however, opportunistic crime does exist.  Foreign visitors or expatriates are potentially more vulnerable due to their perceived wealth.  Densely populated areas, including known tourist hotspots, are possible opportune areas.  Typical forms of crime include pickpocketing, theft and petty crime.  

The threat of a terror attack in the UAE remains, due in part to the complex geopolitical dynamics of the region. Abu Dhabi has not been the target of terrorist activity in recent years, and the UAE as a whole remains vigilant against such threats. However, the city’s regional prominence and involvement in Middle Eastern geopolitics make it a potential target for extremist groups.

Abu Dhabi has a conservative legal system based on Islamic principles. Visitors should be aware of local laws concerning alcohol consumption, public behavior, and dress code. Public displays of affection, inappropriate attire, and offensive behavior, including disrespect on social media, may result in fines or legal action.

Driving in the UAE can be challenging if unfamiliar with the environment and local driving style.  A large portion of the drivers are known to use excessive speeds, with aggressive or reckless behavior when traveling on major roads.  Road Traffic Collisions (RTC) are common in Abu Dhabi.

Frequent roadworks and construction zones can result in heavy congestion, this has the potential to cause significant disruption to travel plans.
