Dubai’s Economy

Essential Knowhow for Travellers Before a Dubai Trip
Dubai isn’t actually rich due to the petroleum and crude oil resources which most people wrongly assume it to be. In fact, It would be shocking for many to find out that natural gas and oil resources contribute a meagre 5% to Dubai’s massive economy. Dubai is mostly misinterpreted as a big reservoir of natural crude oil but it is not true as the city has a very limited reservoir and most of it is expected to finish by 2040. Oil Reservoirs are more concentrated in the territories of Saudi Arabia which is the neighbor of UAE.

The major part of its Economy is reliant on its incredible real estate and infrastructure sector, trade, transhipment port and tourism. The rise of the economy was propelled by some really important initiatives taken by the ruling class in order to establish a free and open business-friendly environment and a small reservoir of natural crude oil did help in taking a giant leap.
