The Expatriate Group has named Qatar the eighth safest country worldwide for expatriates in 2025. This ranking also positions Qatar as the safest country in the Middle East, attracting expats seeking security and stability.
Why Qatar Stands Out
- Low Crime Rate
Qatar maintains the second-lowest crime rate globally, with a Crime Index of 16.0. Strict laws and effective law enforcement reduce violent and petty crimes significantly. - Political Stability
The stable governance in Qatar ensures a peaceful environment free from political unrest, offering residents a secure place to live. - Minimal Risk of Natural Disasters
Qatar faces little risk from natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes. While sandstorms occur occasionally, authorities manage them effectively with clear safety measures. - Advanced Public Safety Measures
The country has invested in cutting-edge security systems, including surveillance and facial recognition technology, to enhance public safety.
