Dubai is one of the safest places on the face of the planet with crime rate that chalks in at 0%.While you may have heard that the Dubai Police Force has a battalion of super luxury cars such as Ferraris and even an Aston Martin it's more to impress tourists than to catch any real criminals. The laws in Dubai are quite harsh and with one of the highest per capita incomes (the reason why next!), crime holds little to no incentive for the people here.

It has 0% income tax:
You read that right! While people all over the world are trying to invest and save as much on taxes as possible, with some even spending large chunks of their life in jail for evading taxes, the people of Dubai simply don't have any personal income tax levied on them.
