Doha ranked second safest city in the world

Qatar National Tourism Council announces that as Qatar prepares to re-open its borders, Doha has been named as the second safest city in the world in Numbeo's Crime Index by City 2021. The index, which tracks safety in 431 cities, reaffirms the country's outstanding level of safety and security, while strengthening Doha's reputation as a desirable city where business and leisure travelers can enjoy award-winning hospitality, business-friendly environments and service excellence.

In 2020, Qatar retained its position as the safest country in the world, ranking number one in the Numbeo Global Index. The ranking marked the third time the country was named the safest destination worldwide in the last five years. Qatar is easily accessible from anywhere in the world, with national carrier Qatar Airways connecting over 160 key destinations across six continents to Doha. In addition, Qatar's visa waiver system means over 80 nationalities can obtain visa-free entry, making it the most open country in the world.

Qatar prioritizes safety along each visitor touchpoint - from its award-winning airline Qatar Airways, to navigating through Hamad International Airport, which boasts the latest cutting-edge security screening technology, as well as advanced contactless technology at security checkpoints. Home to world-class art galleries and iconic museums, UNESCO world heritage sites and natural wonders, along with diverse landscapes across desert, beaches, and sea, and a modern capital city, Doha offers a range of unique and authentic experiences.
