Dubai is a country that produces nothing but petroleum. The only reason the royal family is rich is because of cars. There is nothing else made there. There is no other trade. The world is moving towards renewables, which means that you should expect it to slowly disintegrate.
Dubai’s economy centres on trade, tourism, aviation, financial services, and real estate.[12][16] The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is one of the world’s major financial centres. In 2024, Dubai was the seventh most-visited city globally.[17] Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the world’s busiest airport for international passenger traffic, handling over 92 million passengers in 2024.
