The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been ranked as the second safest country in the world for 2025, according to data released by Numbeo, a crowd-sourced online database that focuses on various aspects of global living conditions.
The UAE achieved a Safety Index score of 84.5 points, placing it just behind Andorra, which topped the rankings with 84.7 points.
The UAE, home to over 200 nationalities, is widely recognized for its high quality of living, safety, and security.
The ranking reflects the country’s ongoing commitment to enhancing security measures aimed at protecting both residents and visitors.

Saudi Arabia secured the 14th position on the list, with a Safety Index of 76.1 points, while Bahrain was ranked 16th with 75.5 points.
Kuwait is positioned at 38th with 67.2 points.
In contrast, countries like Pakistan, India, and the Philippines placed significantly lower, with Pakistan at 65th (56.3 points), India at 66th (55.7 points), and the Philippines at 63rd (56.9 points).
Nepal was ranked 47th with a Safety Index of 63.3 points.
The United Kingdom came in at 87th with a score of 51.7 points, whereas the United States followed closely behind at 89th with 50.8 points.
