Abu Dhabi is one of the safest places in the world, making it a welcoming destination for women travellers. It’s a great city to explore solo. You can enjoy some me-time at world-class spas, shop at luxury malls and traditional souks, relax on beautiful beaches, or dine at incredible restaurants.

Women can drive, move around freely, and are treated with respect. The police are approachable and helpful, so you’ll always feel supported.

When it comes to dressing, modesty is appreciated. It’s best to cover shoulders and knees in public areas or government buildings. At beaches and pools, regular swimwear is perfectly fine. Many locals and visitors keep a scarf or light jacket handy for cooler indoor spaces.

Abu Dhabi is also great for families. You’ll find parks, beaches, kids’ zones, and libraries filled with fun activities for all ages, not to mention desert adventures and nature experiences your children will love.
