Solo female travelers are highly safe here; use the 'Women and Children' only cabins on the Metro.

Always carry a Nol card for seamless use on metro, buses, and water taxis.
04
Visa processing for most nationalities takes 24 hours to 3 business days online.
05
Carry a light sweater for indoor air-conditioned spaces, even in summer.
06
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in smaller eateries; 10-15% is standard for fine dining.
07
If you are exploring the region, consider visiting /ai-trip-planner/abu-dhabi or /ai-trip-planner/doha.
