Dubai is witnessing a significant rise in the number of women drivers, with data from the Ministry of Interior showing that in 2024, the number of driving licences issued to women reached 105,568. This sharply contrasts with the 6,903 licences issued to men during the same period, indicating a notable shift in the city’s driving demographics.
Officials have noted that women drivers are less involved in road accidents than men. Experts attribute this trend to increased safety awareness and more cautious driving habits among women. Authorities continue to promote safe driving practices to enhance road safety for all residents.
This growing participation of women in driving aligns with Dubai’s ongoing efforts to empower women and support their active roles across different sectors, including transportation. The increase in licensed women drivers is projected to have a positive effect on:
- Traffic dynamics
- Road safety standards
As more women take to the roads, Dubai experiences positive changes in traffic patterns and a decline in accident-related incidents. This progress underscores the city’s commitment to an inclusive environment and a culture of responsible driving throughout the emirate.
