MUSCAT : This prestigious ranking places Muscat among its regional peers, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Manama, and Doha, as well as Taipei.

Muscat’s safety rating is high across several crime categories, including theft, physical assaults, drug-related crimes, and armed robbery. The city also scores exceptionally well for safety during both daytime and nighttime walks, reflecting its overall low crime levels.

Numbeo’s Crime Index categorizes cities with crime levels lower than 20 as having ‘very low’ crime, and Muscat’s ranking in the lower range reflects its secure environment.
