UAE ranked second safest country in the world to visit

The UAE has been ranked the second safest country in the world to visit, according to new research.

The study by 'Which? Travel' used data from the World Economic Fund, the World Risk Report, the NHS and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office to rank the top 20 holiday destinations. Only Iceland came above the UAE, with assessors rating the emirates as "extremely safe", while the next places on the list went to Singapore, Spain and Australia.
The report said: “Of the 20 holiday destinations that we looked at, Iceland, unsurprisingly, came out as the safest country. “The UAE and Singapore were also considered extremely safe, with Spain the next safest of the six popular European holiday destinations that we looked at.”
In September, a separate report ranked Abu Dhabi as the safest city in the world for the second year running.
