Abu Dhabi has once again solidified its position as a global leader, being named the safest country in the world, and most liveable city in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region for 2024. This remarkable achievement marks the eighth consecutive year that the UAE capital has topped the safety index, scoring 88.2 points on the Safety Index, and also ranking high in healthcare and education.
The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Index and Numbeo’s Safety Index both lauded Abu Dhabi for its exceptional performance across various criteria, including healthcare, education, infrastructure, and cultural offerings.
Abu Dhabi’s rise as a global destination is fuelled by its strategic vision, ambitious development plans, and a strong focus on quality of life. According to reports, Abu Dhabi had 3,323 healthcare facilities, including 67 hospitals, 1,136 health centres, and 1,068 pharmacies, with a total of 12,922 licensed doctors by the end of 2022. The city’s stunning architecture, world-class museums, and luxurious amenities have transformed it into a cultural and economic hub. Moreover, its commitment to sustainability and environmental initiatives has earned it international recognition.
Other Gulf cities have also done well in the rankings, much like Dubai. Dubai ranks second in liveability within the UAE and fifth globally for safety.
