Madinah ranked as the World’s safest city for Solo Female Travelers
InsureMyTrip, a US-based travel insurance company, declared Madinah as the world’s safest city for women who are traveling alone.
For the rankings, the women who have visited 65 cities were asked two questions. How safe do they feel regardless of their gender? How safe do they feel walking alone at night?
Voters who have visited Madinah gave it a perfect score for both questions which makes it the world's safest city for solo women travelers. The reason for this perfect score is that women are not worried about being attacked on the streets and can walk safely alone at night.
