The United Arab Emirates (UAE) claimed the second spot globally and topped the Gulf region, while Qatar took the third position worldwide.

Global Finance’s evaluation of the safest countries considers three key factors: peace, war, and terrorism measured by the Global Peace Index, personal security based on low crime rates, and the risk of natural disasters, including the potential for pandemics.
