Why Doesn’t DUBAI care about OIL? - VisualPolitik EN

It seems that Dubai always aspires to carry out the largest, most luxurious and most eccentric projects in the world. In this small territory we can find the tallest building, the most luxurious hotel, and even the largest international airport on the planet. Located in a strategic enclave at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the growth process of Dubai is one of the fastest in human history. In just over 20 years it has gone from being a remote and lost enclave in the desert to becoming one of the world's great capitals. In this period of time the emirate of Dubai has multiplied by four its population, by nine the number of visitors, and by eight the size of its economy, But ... How has all this development been achieved? Has it all been just a matter of oil? Well in this VisualPolitk video we’re going to talking all about Dubai.
