The Global Liveability Index 2025, published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), offers a detailed benchmark of how cities worldwide compare.
Cities across the Middle East and Africa continue to rank among the least liveable. While there have been modest gains in healthcare, education, and infrastructure, persistent instability weighs heavily on overall performance.
At the bottom of the index, Damascus remains the least liveable city, with a score of 30.7 out of 100—nearly ten points lower than Tripoli, the next lowest-ranked city.
