“Residents can safely walk alone at night. Safety is a blessing and security means calmness and a happy life. If you are told that a woman can walk alone, at day or at late hours at night with no fear, you should know that she is in the UAE,” Sheikh Mohammed wrote in Arabic.
“May Allah make this country secured and safe. And bless us with more peace, calmness and security,” he added.
