Actually, the Middle East powerholders and presidents have already thought about that. What if the oil runs out? Create the biggest, fastest growing touring destination on earth.
Tenants aren't there because of the oil, they're there because of the cheap leasing space. And those apartments are being sold. To a lot of people from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, America and Europe.
Don't blame the oil for Dubai being such a nice city. Well, yes, blame it. Because when people found out it was going to run out they began building hotels and attractions.
