Dubai Ranks As The ‘World’s Best Destination For Solo Female Travel’ With A 7.71 Score: Report

Once upon a time, travelling solo felt like a plot twist in a movie. Brave? Yes. Common? Not so much. But fast forward to 2025, and women all over the globe are zipping their suitcases, booking window seats, and heading out on solo adventures, with no one else in tow but themselves and a killer playlist. And guess who just snagged the crown as the world’s best city for solo female travellers? Drumroll, please… It’s Dubai. Dubai has officially secured a top rank for ‘World’s Best Destination for Solo Female Travel’. 

Dubai Tops the Solo Female Travel Charts And Women Are Packing Their Bags!

The glitzy emirate didn’t just win hearts, it scored a solid 7.71 overall rating in a recent InsureMyTrip study, leaving 61 other global cities behind in a glittery cloud of gold dust. But what makes Dubai the place for women to roam free without worry? 

Safety, Sisterhood, and Sparkle

Let’s cut to the chase—Dubai is safe. Not “hmm-I-think-it’s-okay” safe. We’re talking full-blown, walking-at-midnight-in-glossy-heels kind of safe. The numbers don’t lie:

• Feeling safe walking alone at night: 83.11/100
• Feeling safe despite gender: 86.23/100
• Women’s Peace & Security Index: 0.868/1

Those are some boss-level stats. And here’s the cherry on top, public transport in Dubai often features ladies-only sections. A small but mighty touch that makes all the difference.

If you’re one of those late-night explorers or early-morning walkers, Dubai’s got your back with 24/7 surveillance in public spaces. So yes, your solo escapades are watched but in the good, Big Brother-who-cares kind of way.

It’s Giving Culture, Luxury, And Loads Of TikTok Love

So you’ve arrived in Dubai. Now what? Well, you won’t be twiddling your thumbs, that’s for sure. From wandering through the souks near Dubai Creek to snapping pics at the Burj Khalifa, there’s always something to do, and most of it’s ridiculously Instagrammable. Not convinced? Try this stat on for size—Dubai’s got 35.7 million TikTok hashtags. Clearly, solo travellers aren’t gatekeeping their adventures.

Also, hotels here? Top-notch. The city scored a respectable 4.26/5 on hotel ratings and 4.58/5 on things to do. Whether you’re on a luxury spree or budgeting like a pro, Dubai caters to every flavour of explorer. Add the average cost of $289/day, and you’ve got a holiday that’s worth every dirham.
