Note: I was surprised to learn that Dubai had not made a fortune on petroleum (they do not have any) but just on tourism.
Chapeau!

I'm sorry, you'll think I'm angry with you for contradicting yourself all the time, but if you look at Wikipedia at the "Dubai" entrance, here's what you can read in the economy chapter:

Until the 1950s, Dubai's economy was based on trade and in particular the export of pearls. With the discovery and exploitation of oil and natural gas in the aftermath of World War II, Dubai received a very significant amount of money from the sale of black gold and virtually all other activity was abandoned in favor of the oil industry. fossil fuels.

With the recent decline in oil and natural gas exports and the depletion of reserves expected within a few decades, Dubai is embarking on a diversification of its economy in favor of new technologies, trade and luxury, commercial, tourism. business, etc. Thus, the emirate plans to become the world's leading center for luxury tourism and one of the world's leading tourist countries within a few years. Already, the export of oil represents only 6% of the emirate's GDP, the rest being provided by tax revenues from companies thanks to the Jebel Ali Free Zone and, increasingly, tourism.

This sudden turn is accompanied by a policy of major works in order to create reception facilities (airports, marinas, hotels, palaces, etc.), transport (highways, metro, etc.) and leisure (amusement parks in theme and aquatic, shopping centers, etc.) for future visitors. It is estimated that 15-25% of the world's cranes are in Dubai.

In 2002, a law was enacted to allow foreigners to own buildings (not land) for 99-year leases. This law will allow wealthy non-Emiratis to buy residences or apartments in the many real estate projects.

Well, then they were wrong in the M6 ​​show devoted largely to Dubai or they said the opposite: /

And don't worry, it doesn't bother me that I am being contradicted because I am always looking for finality in everything: p

Well obviously it's mixed, oil yes but not like in Iraq or Saudi Arabia:

"In 1892, Dubai is placed under the protectorate of the United Kingdom. The leaders encourage foreign trade mainly with India which considerably enriches the country.
When oil is discovered in the Persian Gulf off its coast, Dubai awards concessions. However, its leaders are aware that the oil and gas reserves they have are limited and when, in 1971, Dubai becomes independent and the United Arab Emirates are created, they decide to reconvert their economy. Thanks to trade, tourism and new technologies, they are no longer dependent on energy production. The sheiks are founding a city-state run like a multinational. "

At least we will have learned something

Note: they have, with this ski slope, surely evolved the technique of insulation and energy recovery.

You have the right to dream, Dreamer
When you have money to no longer know what to do (which is typically the case here), losing a little money in the air conditioning bill does not matter.

It's a bit like imagining that Ferrari buyers all ride a Pantone on it to save fuel and less pollute
