This is why Dubai is investing so heavily in being a kind of bizarre desert Disneyland for the 1%ers of the world. They know their oil economy will dry up soon, and are trying to attract rich foreign investors to buy expensive properties and providing all kinds of bizarre amenities (ski slopes… in the desert!) to attract tourism. Other Emirates are doing similar things like Abu Dhabi aggressively recruiting foreign entrepreneurs offering subsidies and little in the way of oversight or regulations.
