Simply obviously, this person does not know that the Emirates have long been living not at the expense of oil sales, but their main income from the fact that UAE is one of the leading financial centers in the world!
I do not agree with you, because the Arab Emirates are built only thanks to oil and its resources. Tourism and office centers is a small part that receives as a profit. I'm an economist and I know what I say.
I agree with your point of view. The Arab Emirates 20-25 years ago was an ordinary desert. Thanks to the right policy of the sheikhs, the country began to flourish and develop.This is the only country in the world that has created a whole island archipelago, land of which are just crazy money.
