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. 

Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is widely regarded as 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.  Criminals are likely to target individuals who are unaware of their surroundings or have valuables such as smartphones, purses or other electronic devices on display.

The threat of a terror attack in Dubai is growing – fuelled by the city’s image as a bastion of Western-style capitalism and nightlife and the frequent port calls by United States (US) Navy ships. Although Dubai has not been directly targeted by terrorist organizations in recent years, given its high profile as a global financial center and tourism hub, the city remains a potential target for extremist groups, particularly those operating in the broader Middle East. 

Driving in Dubai 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 Dubai.

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