Doha: Qatar has once again secured its place among the world’s safest nations, ranking third in the Numbeo Safety Index by Country 2025 Mid-Year. With an impressive safety score of 84.6, Qatar is recognized for its exceptionally low crime rates and high safety standards among 148 countries included in the survey.

The Safety Index, calculated by Numbeo, assesses several factors including crime rates, public perceptions of safety, and the likelihood of incidents such as home break-ins, vehicle thefts, and physical attacks. Qatar consistently recorded minimal concerns in these areas, further emphasizing the country’s reputation as a safe and welcoming destination. Residents benefit from a high sense of security both during the day and at night, with public spaces deemed safe for families, women, and children.

Qatar’s standing also highlights the broader safety profile of the Gulf region, with the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain also appearing in the top 15. In the previous year, Qatar ranked second globally in safety, just behind the UAE. The strong regional presence underscores the Gulf's commitment to public security and infrastructure that supports safe urban living.
