      UAE is ranked the second safest country in the world as per this Index

      23 seconds ago

      Per the 2025 Safety Index by Numbeo, the UAE has ranked as the world’s second safest country.
      The safety score in the survey reached 84.5 out of 100, and was conducted based on several factors. The questions in the survey are modeled after scientific and government surveys. These surveys assess perceptions of crime levels, safety concerns, and experiences with property and violent crimes to compile the safety and crime indices.
      While the UAE ranked second globally with a score of 84.5, Andorra (84.7) claimed the top spot, and Qatar (84.2) ranked third, while Taiwan (82.9) and Oman (81.7) rounded out the top five spots in the report which surveyed 147 nations/ territories.
      The country ranked one on the safety index is Andorra, with a survey score of 84.7 out of 100.
      For solo travellers
      In February 2022, according to a survey conducted by travel insurance website InsureMyTrip, the UAE was ranked the third safest country in the world for solo female travellers.
      “Overall, Dubai has a very low crime rate and is considered a safe place to travel as a woman, with the majority of public transport in Dubai offering a ‘women’s only section’,” the study stated.
      Previously, President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has reaffirmed that the safety and security of citizens and residents is the top priority of the UAE government.

      الإمارات الأولى عالمياً حسب تقرير جالوب للأمن والنظام ٢٠٢١ في تجوال السكان ليلاً بمفردهم. الأمن نعمة..والأمان طمأنينة وسكينة وحياة.. إذا تجولت المرأة بمفردها في أي ساعة من ليل أو نهار دون خوف فاعلم أنها في الإمارات .. “رب اجعل هذا بلداً آمناً “..آمين ..وأدم عليه سكينته وطمأنينته
      — HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) November 17, 2021

      HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai also, shared a tweet that said, “If a woman roams alone at any hour of the day or night without fear, know that she is in the UAE.”
      As the UAE continues to grow, safety continues to be the priority for the leaders of the country.

      10 of the best Dubai cafés for a matcha-needed break

      by

      Life

      14 mins ago

      Obsessed with matcha? Us too. As the health benefits outweigh everything, let us look at some of the best Dubai Matcha cafés to visit.
      Known for its host of health benefits, matcha is best for both its energising and detoxifying properties. This highly sought-after drink is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins like EGCG, which help fight inflammation and support heart health. It provides a steady energy boost without the jitters of coffee, thanks to L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus. Matcha also supports metabolism, aiding in weight management, and may enhance brain function, improving memory and concentration.
      So, if you’re looking to skip coffees and adapt to a natural source of caffeine, Dubai offers an array of chlorophyll-infused beverages that we simply can’t resist.
      AVANTCHA Tea Bar

      The pioneering avant-garde tea beverage now has a first-of-its-kind flagship destination in Dubai. This launch marks the beginning of a new era for tea enthusiasts, offering an immersive sensory experience that transforms tea into a lifestyle. Additionally, loyal Matcha enthusiasts can benefit from the Matcha Latte Loyalty Card, which rewards customers with a free Matcha Latte after every ten purchases. The AVANTCHA Tea Bar is more than a place to drink tea — it’s a destination to experience tea’s artistry, culture, and future—a world where every sip tells a story. With a myriad of matcha creations, guests are completely spoiled for choice.

For a sweet treat, they offer a Matcha and White Chocolate Cookie priced at Dhs9.
