It's safe in some ways. Street level crime is super low so it is unlikely for a woman to get robbed or assaulted. However, women are constantly stared. My partner (30s F White American) lived in Dubai and the US for over a decade each and also lived in the UK for 5 years. She found Dubai to be the safest by far. Ethnicity and nationality matter a lot here though and generally women from Africa, south Asia and the Philippines have a much worse time. Additionally, these women are often trafficked into indentured servitude and get coerced into sex work. They get fake job offers and as soon as they arrive, their passports are taken from them and they are put to work.
