That ski resort is awesome its at the mall of the emirates, all the restaurants in mall overlook the ski resort absolutely awesome place to go. And every car you could think of that costs over gazillion dollars parked right outside and nobody even thinks much of them lol.

haha yea, they have every luxury car dealership you can think of

and one of the most expensive hotels in the world which costs iirc ~5k a night to stay at

not to mention this place:

Designed by Italian practice Dynamic Architecture, the 80-storey rotating residential tower will, according to the practice, generate 10 times as much power than it will use.
The tower will be built in stages, the concrete spine of the building will be built first while the prefabricated floor segments are constructed in a factory nearby.

Each floor will rotate independently, so those looking to buy an apartment should have a strong stomach. But at least if you have a few too many drinks, the room really will be spinning.

Another rotating tower will be built in Moscow, and Dynamic says it is in talks with developers to build similar schemes in New York, London and Milan.

Wouldn't want to live there but it would be an awesome place to see.

oh wow.

and to the oil comment.

Although Dubai's economy was built on the back of the oil industry, revenues from oil and natural gas currently account for less than 6% of the emirate's revenues

they were smart with their money. They arent goin broke anytime soon i think.

Just look up at the gas price sign the next time you fill up, and think about that question again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Exactly, "OLD MONEY" ... directly developed from oil sales from the 70's-80's
