UAE ranked safest country in the world in 2025
The United Arab Emirates has been named the world's safest country. A survey by the living database site Numbeo found that the UAE is officially the safest country in the world. With a score of 85.2 in the mid-year global safety index, the UAE climbed above Andorra into the top position, having previously placed behind the tiny European nation. Andorra, with a population of just 80,000, smaller than some neighbourhoods in Dubai, ranked behind the UAE with an index score of 84.8. Numbeo's safety index considers five different factors when coming up with its final score. The score is determined by survey responses from the last 36 months by visitors to the living database's website. The total index score is determined by general perception of crime levels, perceived safety while walking at night as well as concerns about violent crime, burglary and discrimination. A higher score means that the country is considered very safe. Scores are continuously updated on the platform. Fellow GCC countries Qatar and Oman also ranked highly, with Qatar placing in third with a score of 84.6 while Oman is in sixth with a score of 81.4. Taiwan and Macao round off the top five with total scores of 83.0 and 81.8 respectively. Elsewhere in the top 10, you'll find Isle of Man, Hong Kong, Armenia and Singapore. As for cities across the globe, the UAE can currently boast five cities in the top 10 with Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Ras Al-Khaimah and Sharjah all ranking highly. Whether you're taking a stroll around Dubai Marina or enjoying an evening around the Burj Khalifa, the city's dedication to security ensures peace of mind for everyone. Given a safety index score of 83.9, Dubai currently ranks in fourth overall behind Abu Dhabi, Ajman and Doha. Achieving a score of 88, Abu Dhabi has won the title for the last nine years in a row, while Ajman is second with a score of 85.5. Ras al-Khaimah, known for its stunning landscapes and serene vibe, holds its own at fifth place, with Doha being the only non-UAE city to place in the top five.

Molly-Mae Hague blasted by fans for 'always moaning' as she says 'I've not done one fun thing all summer' despite multiple luxury holidays
Fans have blasted Molly-Mae Hague for 'always moaning' as she told fans she's 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. The former Love Island star and business owner, 26, made the admission in her latest YouTube vlog which landed this week. Molly said in the life update: 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing.' She then spoke to her sister and said: 'Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' It left some fans open-mouthed as they called out how she failed to acknowledge the three holidays she's already been on this year. Some comments read: 'She's a millionaire, she can literally wake up tomorrow and do whatever the hell she wants', 'Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that', 'This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself', 'Why does she always want us to feel sorry for her?' The mum-of-one - in this year alone - has been on no expense-spared trips to Dubai, Budapest and even Disneyland in 2025. Back in March she and Tommy Fury took baby Bambi on a family holiday to the United Arab Emirates, marking a reunion holiday for the clan. Just a month later Tommy had treated Molly to a European trip as the pair enjoyed downtime in Budapest. During their break, they stayed at The Pullman, a five-star hotel where prices start from at least £500 per night. Meanwhile, in May the dotting parents took Bambi to Disneyland Paris where they enjoyed a lavish stay at the park's resort. It comes after her candid complaints about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday her family went on - after Tommy said their daughter Bambi shouldn't be spoilt with five star trips. The family were travelling on a swanky Elddis Avalon 255 motorhome. Yet Molly-Mae revealed the trip had been struck with delays, leaving Bambi 'overtired and overstimulated'. She explained: 'Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend. Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man. 'Tommy's family were spending the weekend in the Isle of Man. I was feeling spontaneous so we literally booked the ferry to the Isle of Man an hour before we needed to leave. 'We'd never used the motorhome before, we needed to pack it up, sort Bambi, I just had this wave of 'you only live once, have a bit of fun. 'Bambi doesn't need to be so perfectly routine every day, she's not a newborn anymore. 'I've got so stuck in my ways with the fact that her routine is her routine and I don't really steer away from it. 'I'm not gonna feel bad for that because that is what works for me and that is what works for Bambi and Tommy, so that's fine.' She then added of when things started to go wrong: 'So anyway, booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn't make the ferry but that's another story and then there was a two hour delay. 'This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm, was not fine. It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us. 'It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like 'can I help? Is there anything I can do?' 'She was screaming that much for four hours straight. The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn't move for like two hours so we had a huge delay. 'She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.' And when they arrived things continued to go downhill, as she said: 'We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning. 'We didn't know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy's family. It was just a lot. 'We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like 'I'm really out of my depth, I'm struggling. The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy. 'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like 'what were we thinking?. I was having a breakdown.' She went on in the vlog: 'Bear in mind this motorhome of Tommy's is his pride and joy, he's obsessed with it…I kid you not, the next day he was like 'I'm selling it, the minute we get home I'm putting it up for sale, I hate this motorhome.' 'It wasn't even the motorhome's fault. For our first time, stupid move.' They even considered getting an early ferry home but once they met up with Tyson Fury and his wife Paris, things improved. She said: 'We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn't do it. 'But then, when we met up with them, we were like 'no, we're gonna stick it out, we can do this.'
