Established tourism protocols in cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi provide a secure environment for female travellers. In addition to this, the country’s expatriate community (people who live abroad temporarily and don’t hold local citizenship) helps women travellers feel safer and more welcoming. (Image: Canva)
