Most people think Dubai became wealthy because it's part of the Gulf region, home to the world's oil wells. However, oil only helped Dubai become rich quickly, not enough to sustain its multi-billion dollar economy in the long term. In the early 1980s, this wealthy city shifted its investment focus from natural resource extraction to the real estate market. Gradually, this sector became the economic backbone of Dubai, creating opportunities for the development of other multi-billion dollar services such as aviation and maritime.
