Ever quarreled with a friend over which country is safer than the other? Well, we're here to settle that debate with Fast Company's list of the safest cities in the world.
In general, richer cities ranked higher, but Fast Company explains that this idea didn't work across the board, especially in the Middle East.
But the rich-safe link isn't always there. Some wealthy Middle Eastern places score low down, for instance. "Four of the five Middle Eastern cities in the Index are considered high income, but only one makes it into the top half of the Index: at 25 Abu Dhabi is 21 places above Riyadh at number 46," the report says.
Guess we shouldn't have been surprised the Middle East barely cracked the top 25. Check out the top ten below.
