Lots of people are aware that the United Arab Emirates has become rich due to oil reserves.  But is the striking picture of skyscrapers a consequence of development or one of the drivers?

Real estate as an engine of progress

There is also one significant misconception that is as wrong as possible. It lies in the fact that the UAE economy allegedly depends on oil.

Of course, oil deposits are bearing fruit, but now the main driver in the country is tourism. Every year people choose the United Arab Emirates for vacation.
